I only see disaster coming from Mordor. One Ring to bind them will defeat the Borg. If they keep the PhoneOS and make a Tablet OS that is customized to tablet life it is a win. Sure make the "pc" version as well. In that concept I use a term version. If you scale the os to the device you might make that device better. I would not want to use the phone to work on spreadsheet or word docs. I would like to use the tablet for those but not for mouse intensive operations. I see M$ screwing the pooch with this next release.
