    ARM or Intel processor?

    What processor do you want, or do you even care?

    Intel, if the battery life is right. Of course, Asus has shown all they can at computed, and if I'm to get any tablet, I need a Wacom digitizer to achieve the dream of handwritten notes.

    I care!

    I quote Sinofksy "ARM 'technical restrictions' eliminate the possibility for users to run anything but Windows 8 preinstalled on their tablets. That means no dual-booting of Linux or other operating systems .WoA also will not support virtualization or emulation, so that route also is out."

    I want to buy a Surface just to install Android on it. Windows 8?..eh I'm not much of a fan.

    Yeah, that was the worst thing I've ever heard.

    Anyways, I think it's too early to judge. Of course I see the benefits of WinRT, battery life, portability, more controlled eco-system. However, without knowing exactly which apps will install and run in classic mode, I'm a bit skeptical.
