Right, but at the moment x86 tablets mean (as far as I know, I realize Intel is promising great things) bigger, hotter and much worse battery life.
That also leaves open the question of how non-Metro apps behave in a touch environment. We've seen what Microsoft's idea of an Intel tablet running Windows has been, and it wasn't pretty. Will an Intel tablet running Windows 8 be that plus Metro? Because that sounds kind of awful.
