I have a Samsung Galaxy Note and I love it. Android 4 ICS is great. But Windows 8 is THE mobile OS I've been waiting for. It does everything I could want from a touch device and a desktop. In addition to installing Windows 8 on my desktop I will be getting some kind of Win8 Tablet in the next year or two. Like I said I'm happy with my Galaxy Note, but when Win8 devices start coming out in tons of flavors at various price points I'll jump on board. I'm not an early adopter so the high prices, but awesome, Surface isn't for me right now. If it comes down it price or another manufacturer sells and alternative with a better price I'll be there.

I'm dubious of Windows RT myself. The current app store is too small and it can't run the vast majority of Windows software. I think a proper Windows 8 x86 based tablet/laptop would be much better value currently. Having said that, I wouldn't like to predict how the tablet market will look in a year or two as the competitions fierce.

I feel the same way. But for people who don't care about backwards compatiblity the Windows 8 RT can do nearly everything and as apps get added it will do everything. But I, like you, would rather have an X86 Surface with full legacy support.
