This is just the first step. You just need the tablet when go to work,... Vacation... Everywhere. do you need a heavy laptop? No need..

You can install dual boot with different OS. You develop,compile,run applications . Qt as an example as well as. Net. . You have more choices than with a maemo tablet? Not. That I wouldn't love a maemo tablet. But still...
As long as the x86 tablet does not come with win8 pre-installed, I would be happy too.

Sadly MS are playing there "trump card" with the UEFI secure boot to prevent any malware (ie linux, bsd, WINDOWS pre7 or anyOS) from being installed on the device.

Heck, even removing that bloody OS and all traces of its damn bootloader from my win7 dualboot resulted in a full format of my HDD :\
