Forget for a moment that it won't run Windows applications, starts at $200 more than Kindle Fire HD and doesn't have a Facebook app. The consensus among those who purchased Microsoft's Windows 8 tablet from Best Buy is that it is pretty much the best computing device in history.
"I sold my iPad," gushed a buyer who identified himself or herself as "ExIpadUser." "I hope to retire my Kindle HD as soon as Microsoft publishes enough apps in the store." A reviewer going by the name "HighTechLover2" was even more effusive: "Best tablet I ever saw in my life!!!" he, she or it proclaimed.
Has to be an 'it' (or Mr Balmer). Anyone who feels the limited offerings and the promise of a 'Windows' tablet that cannot run standard Windows software is in serious need of counselling.

I refuse to buy into RT. I just don't get it. It's won't work with a stylus (at least not the good kind). And the apps just aren't that compelling or numerous yet. If the Win8 Pro were priced around $800 including stylus and keyboard, then It could possibly be the best tablet ever, but not the RT.
