The Windows Tablet

It's a simple enough idea, but seriously Microsoft, where is it?

NO, I'm not talking about Windows 7 on a tablet, or Windows 7 + some third party layer on top, but a separate version of Windows made directly for tablets. Take cues from the Metro design language, Windows Phone, Zune, even the XBOX and Media Center, and find a way to make something as easy to understand as the Windows Phone and Zune UI's.

The opportunity exists! You've created the first, true, next generation UI in mobile post the iPhone revolution, and you are in a prime location to make something amazing for tablets. Mix in a little stylus action for optional writing, and you'll have topped everything else in the market. Add a Windows Phone style setup, controlled experience + hardware specs, and you'll be miles beyond the Google experience, and more affordable than the Apple experience.

The main point to all of this though? You have an opportunity here like you have an opportunity mobile, but you have the chance to make it out on par in time with the rest, not years behind.

Don't miss this chance, please. You have the UI, you have people thinking you know mobile again, it's the time to try tablets one more time, for the consumer market.
