I think it makes much more sense to put a detachable keyboard and pointing device on a tablet, than it does to put a touch interface like the "Modern UI" on PC that lacks touch input. It's that latter that I've been so down on.

Only if as a corporation, your (oft proven) corporate philosophy is the fleecing and then abandonment your old customers, and you want to split your efforts across disparate product lines. Microsoft has a single UI for all operating systems, including Windows 2012 Server. It will have dozens ov vendors of tablets readily convertible into fully functional laptops. And they will support several input devices. They pull it off incredibly well. You should try a Surface.

There is a learning curve, I won't deny that. But once you get past it, it is much, much more powerful.
