I'm really pleased you think so. It's great it works for you. However, almost everyone else in the world apart from Ballmer pretty much has realised that to get an OS to work with touch, you need to design it with touch in mind from the ground up. It's cool you don't understand that, and it's just wonderful you like having a touchscreen desktop running windows.

Again, that's awesome. However, most people have realised that a hybrid machine isn't the way to go. That's why they aren't selling very many of them. The linova one which was dual boot and turned into android when it wasn't docked was the best idea, but that's not sold well either.

For me, it would be way to underpowered to use as a work machine, and too big to use as a tablet. I'd use a desktop machine for working and a tablet for sofa surfing/travel.

But, as I said, if it works for you, that's just peachy!
