Lol, ever actually use a Windows tablet? There is NOTHING 99.999% of people would want to do on Windows that they can't do on Android, unless you're a fan of the few crappy games that Windows Store has that people didn't bother to port over...

I suggest that everybody on this board go buy a Dell Venue 8 Pro and a Google Nexus 7. It's a very small price to help understand why Windows 8 tablets aren't doing that well in the non-convertible category and why wbmw and I keep saying that dual boot is a dumb gimmick.

My Venue 8 Pro is very fast, slick, and nice...but I sure wish I had an Android version of it because the app ecosystem well and truly sucks on Windows. Oh, and developing for Metro is a PITA compared to Android.

I am with Chipguy on this one.

One machine - Windows for Work (Office/Outlook/Publisher and other heavy applications)
&
Android for Play (huge ecosystem)


I can get it that some of you don't like this idea. But here is definitive proof of the huge interest - Bluestacks is talking about 100,000 downloads a day clearly indicating a huge interest in the dual OS concept. With Intel investing in Bluestacks in March 2013, they had a front-row seat in having visibility into this huge demand. Case Closed!

Quote from Bluestacks CEO, Rosen Sharma:
“If you look at where we started, the amount of traction we got surprised us also,” Rosen said, adding that the company is still seeing more than 100,000 new downloads every day.
