because it runs windows, the most used OS in the world by businesses, i think it will be successful. microsoft has finally used one of their greatest asset to combat android and apple in the tablet market.

if it runs x86 apps (LOB apps for enterprises), it will be even more well received. even being able to run a browser (which it does) will be good because some LOB apps are web-based.

i'd have to concede that MS is doing the right thing here.
