I'll look into solutions on my side after the second most unfavorable situation because of links with this bull... on HN.
But please.. Mods, can't we change the to something helpful in these cases?
Something like NSFW (which it very well might be as well)?

unfortunately, these devices have no AD integration, or other Enterprise deployment stuff that typically makes windows appealing to businesses.
Agreed this is a real issue, but a professional buying a device personally is unlikely to care about those bits of the puzzle. Compared to the existing tablet market, Windows RT is significantly better in terms of enterprise integration.
Wow, looks awesome and for business, the ability to use Microsoft office is the "killer app", as much as I dislike ppt and word and wheel they are the staples of most companies so the lack if office on iPad is hurting it for business users and this will be just what they are looking for. I am glad to see a new player (although msft are well experienced at touch computers) and excited to get my hands on one. They hit…
I think the Surface with Windows 8 Pro (perhaps its second generation since current one's too bulky) is a killer business product. Put it down on a table with the keyboard, and it's a fully-powered laptop! Pick it up and fold back the keyboard, and it's a fully-powered tablet!
But the jailbreaks will come sooner or later, anyway.
edit: oh, you speaked about x86 version. Well I would guess this will have higher energy consumption and be less compelling as a tablet.

The inability to install anything on the desktop OS apart from the Office makes it less compelling as a laptop.

OneNote on Windows RT could be the killer app that makes me want one. I want a sketchpad, handwriting recognition, the ability to insert audio clips and videos and images, OCR for text in those images... in fact let me take a photo, paste it in and then extract the text in the photo... quick text tools with basic formatting... and all of this should be searchable, shareable, integrated. That's OneNote. On the desktop…
It will really be a shame if it's not featured full-featured on Slate.
Yeah, it would be nice for tablet diversity but it still feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be... haven't used it yet though so I'd be willing to be swayed.
You could just as well say that about smartphones.

It sounds like it just works. And after "[struggling] mightily with typos and finger placement for the first 24 hours". Who's going to put up with that?
To be fair, I still struggle with my ipad keyboard after months of use. It frustrates the life out of me, because the keys shift depending on context.
(guy who touch types, with a bazillion typos, on a samsung galaxy s)

I'm wondering why you would want that touch keyboard in the first place. If their laptop-style keyboard is just as thin and it gives you tactile feedback, what's the reason for touch-only style?
I don't get the whole "not enough apps in the app store" critique. What are they expecting? The tablet is not even out yet and they expect a million apps or what? Obviously this is a problem with a new operating system... It's a valid critique in a way but there is nothing Microsoft can do short of hiring ten thousand developers to just make apps for it before launch.
