How many people here have actually used Ubuntu or Windows 7 on a tablet?

I have (I have an HP Touchsmart 1025dx), and let me tell you something. Both of them suck, but Gnome shell is somewhat useful.

Never have been able to get the multi-touch to work under Linux, and under Windows nothing but their few stupid apps use it. And who really wants that monstrosity of Windows 8 on anything...

The ZaTab looks cool for one reason, and one reason only. It uses Cyanogenmod 9 by default. This WILL be updated constantly (there are even nightly builds for it! The fact that it has an open boot loader and is rooted by default doesn't hurt either.

Eventually Gnome-Shell will be very much like Maemo / MeeGo and will work fantastically on a tablet. And since the majority of software for Linux is open source, it usually just takes a recompile to work with ARM.

By the way, even Wine is working on an ARM version (for those Windows Mobile programs) and you can emulate x86 via qemu, though it's currently pretty slow.
