In reply to Seag. Which Enterprise features does Windows RT lack? I think it ads simplicity, it removes bloat potential, it runs much longer on a battery, it's in theory much much cheaper, all those features I think Enterprises are really asking for. As for Desktop apps support on RT, I still don't believe Microsoft actually isn't going to release something like the NDK on Android to provide native code third party desktop apps support on RT, for example allowing a full Chrome Desktop browser app on RT and if enterprise need to customize any virtualization, remote desktop apps etc they should be able to get that also in desktop mode.

It’s not a terribly bad idea, however I still think that Asus Prime style device would be much better. Just like Samsung’s Series 5 Hybrid but with extra battery pack in a keyboard dock.

My other concern is not the hardware but Win 8. At the moment it’s a very confusing OS and ARM version will lack many important enterprise features.

If Asus Taichi will be popular depends on the price and liftime for the battery between the charging times.
Viewsonic rumor says that they shall announce a 20″ tablet on Computex.
20″ tablet pc, that would be great!
But Viewsonic is known to be not cheap of any kind.
