lol, such optimism.
What is Microsoft's presence right now in the smartphone and tablet market? Around 1% and 0% respectively.
They are newcomers into a well established and highly competitive market. Apple OS and Android already conquered all the mind share. Surface doesn't even have a release date yet. Meanwhile in the phone business Nokia is a dinosaur taking its last breaths, Windows phone is finished before it even started.
Asus, Lenovo and Samsung developing tablets around Windows 8 yes, but that doesn't mean they will push and market them. These guys already have broad product portfolios in all categories. They're making Windows tablets as a niche segment.
And about the Metro interface, truth is most people think it looks ugly. They feel treated as they are morons by these huge square icons. I personally kinda like the Metro style but among the populace it's simply not a cool interface.

lol. WTF? I have no words for this post.

lol what do you mean?

What you are saying is that Sony, Samsung, HP, Lebovo, Acer, Asus, DELL etc etc etc are designing and manufacturing Windows8 tablets just for the hell of it, they expect them to fail and are doing just because...?
Get a grip. Your bias is overwhelmingly silly. Didn't you used to a 360 fan way back? I guess reformed smokers are the worst arent they.

Seriously, no matter of bias. Sony, Samsung, Levono, Asus they all are famous for very varied product portfolios and they're good at making small quantities of a certain model profitable. It was obvious that all of them would offer Win 8 tablets.
I am sure there were several manufacturers who made Win Phone 7 smartphone models too, and just look at those dismal sales.
Samsung, LG, Toshiba and HP all made HD DVD players, but remember what happened to that format?
All these guys you listed making a Windows tablet is not a sign of Surface becoming successful.
