I don't think it's so much the Tablet market as it is that Microsoft
is betting (and probably a winning bet) that more and more full sized
computers and Laptops will go to touch screen monitors. Looking at
recent sales sheets from Dell and such this definitely seems to be the
trend. I see huge touch screens in the near future with keyboards and
other input devices used only for special events, not day to day use.
Obviously big typing jobs will still be easier on a keyboard but,
otherwise, I think most keyboards will spend much of their time put
away under the computer (Desktop systems obviously).
As for the looks of Windows 8, et al, I suppose everyone will have
their own opinion on that. I agree it's nothing to look at compared
to the last generation of other Windows versions or other operating
systems but this too may change.
