worth taking a look. I'm liking it. I thought the tablet interface (metro) would suck using a mouse but no it's pretty decent

runs smooth on a 1Ghz 1Gb RAM computer. You have an old computer or netbook? install this baby on it. Will run smooth

this windows version looks like a winner. Imagine having a tablet and being able to run pc games on it, or office or visual studio torrent, xbox games :wow

Let the Windows 8 hardware rumors begin.

According to Notebook Italia, Asus is eyeing Windows 8 for the next version of its Eee Pad Transformer, a tablet with an optional keyboard and trackpad dock that props the device up like a netbook.

Didn't you get the memo? Tablets are a fad.

Didn't you get the memo? Tablets are a fad.

mmm I don't think I agree yet. I find myself using my tablet more and more. I still miss the keyboard most of the time. But I don't think they are going away.

Something needs to replace the keyboard and touchscreen is not it. Maybe a great speech recognition, but you need your privacy. So a glove? some kind of new age keyboard that can come out of the tablet? something that reads your brainwaves?

that is why I love that Asus Transformer. I have it, but have not purchased the keyboard dock. they are expensive and usually sold out :bang

When is 8 supposed to launch anyways?

[cheguevara]

one more thing. No Flash/Silverlight on IE10. I think you can install on Desktop View of IE10 but I was not able to.

Flash/Silveright = RIP :(

I think I will hold off for now, I have no desire to run all programs fullscreen, or be inconvenienced by not doing so. Not a huge fan of that option in Snow Leopard either.

[vander]

hmm, for the first time in my life, I think I won't be getting the new version of windows a soon is it comes out.

I think I'll wait out this tablet fad
