So windows 8 tablets that have desktop mode can essentially run the full flash player and AIR. No wimpy mobile OS and junk mobile browser. So full hardware acceleration in flash player and no strange "mobile" version of Flash player etc.
The devices are also getting fast enough now that I don't think performance is a problem. My daughter was playing a flex based math game full of animations on a lenovo think pad tablet the other day without issues at all.

As far as I could Google, a Flashplayer is available for Windows 8. Is this still correct? Then also the Captive Runtime should be available ... I thought (sperdupercool) thing with Windows 8 is that you have the same platform from Mobile to Desktop ... so is is possible to use Flash on Windows 8 Mobile Phones and Tablets? Chris
