A keyboard would certainly help make it useful for those occasions when
you aren't in tablet mode, and lets face it that is a lot of the time.
Given the anticipated price at two to three times a reasonable plain
desktop configuration, it needs to be usable as much as possible. Of
course, you won't be at all surprised if I claim it couldn't be
considered usable with Windows on it :-J

But just think; a mere ten years after the Active Book and five after
the Interval Pad, finally M$ have made something with some potential
value. Even if it does have the wrong CPU.
