Another Windows 7 Slate Destined to Fail?

"The bModo 12G makes a decent stab at trying to bend the Windows 7 OS into better shape for slate computing. Even so, those looking for a seamless touch experience will be sorely disappointed. Aside from video performance issues, UI crashes, and poor endurance, there's the 12G's steep $799 sticker price. If you really want Windows on a tablet, wait for longer-lasting devices powered by Intel's Oak Trail processors."
Even if you build a tablet that satisfactorily runs Windows 7, until Microsoft develops a touch optimized front end for the OS, it just isn't going to be a go.
