It's my understanding that this was always the case- if the tablet is ARM-based, then it's not going to be able to run legacy x86 apps. Not to mention the UI problems. The good news is that it will be much easier for developers to port from x86 Win7 to ARM/x86 Win8 than it would be to make an iPad/Android version of their application. |

Microsoft actually has a great "developer story" to tell if they can pull all their pieces together. The idea that you could trivially port your .NET apps across to tablets is very compelling. Throw in the ability to have apps running on a future XBox could be a game changer as well.
It's when you look at everything they have you realise that it would be stupid to ever rule Microsoft out.
