The intel version at least will be able to run all apps- and the keyboard has a multitouch trackpad.

UIs will need to change, for sure. But as long as it's possible to port large portions of the codebase of existing Windows apps (see the demo of Lightroom they showed), there should be a lot of options.

Call me a cynic, but there's more to a good app than refactoring an existing one with a new UI.
The RT version reminds me of the PC Junior, with its chiclet keyboard, and has no legacy apps. You're right about the Pro version, but it seems to me that's designed for people who need a laptop. Those people will buy a laptop.
