I'm sticking with Android for tablets and phones, at least for now. I was one of the longest hold outs with Windows phones with my HTC Touch and I was pretty well left out in the cold for years by MS. I'm in no hurry to experience that again.DefSent from my smurfing hunk of techno sorcery

So far I like it a lot. I think a full feature windows 8 tablet makes a lot of sense, more so than android or ios. The display sucks compare to ipad mini and build quality doesn't come close either, but neither is the price.I prefer it over both android and ios. You bought it, it's yours to do as you wish, or screw up if that's your choice. No more BS with rooting, factory crippled OS and restrictions, can't put app on SD card (SD card simply shows up as another hard drive). App selection sucks and many don't work, but I have my phone for that, plus it's actual windows and you can install everything you've ever installed on your desktop (games probably won't work unless you connect a physical keyboard/mouse).I'm sticking with windows tablet from now on. And as far as 8" version is concerned, hope you have slender fingertips.

I'm waiting for the USB OTG adapter in the mail. They don't include any accessories anymore. Next thing you know you'll have to supplies your own chargers and cable.
My laptop isn't a touch screen and runs 8 just fine. I don't think I have ever felt like it was lacking anything without a touch screen.DefSent from a digital multitool
The sad truth is that win8/8.1 IS a good tablet OS... however that means it's a terrible desktop OS unless you have a touchscreen imho. It's great on our Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, but I cannot see us updating our desktops to win8.x
