No there are two types - the ARM-based ones will run Windows 8 RT and
you are correct in saying that x86 applications will not run on them.
These tablets will effectively use Metro apps from the MS store and it's
this one I see as having the best chance of taking off. Especially since
the early adopters of the first iPad will now be coming into the market
for replacements in increasing numbers.

The 'Pro' tablet is x86 based and will run standard Windows 8 and
therefore VFP apps. In my limited testing VFP applications seem to work
on Windows 8 exactly as they do on Windows 7.
