  4. I really want my freedom to choose what ever I want to use on my tablet, I don't want to pay for some software which I don't want to use or dare to use as it's so insecure and alien as that thing from that american company outside Seattle.

    I usually spend quite a much time with my initial setup, making sure that all installed software is optimized for the CPU/GPU in use, stream line the device to only have the software I want to use on them (why have a million *****ic programs installed, which you never will be using).

    Sadly the notebook and tablet market are so much dominated by one or two companies limited software, that you will not get the freedom to install what you want to use without having to pay "tax" to thise companies just to get your hands on the hardware and many times they are locked, as we will see with the UEFI motherboards in a near future, the hardware manufactorers will blame the software company who usually steals FOSS code and the software company will blame the hardware manufactorers that you can't do what you want with your hardware.

    But I guess most readers here don't care, feels like you are happy that someone else tells you what to use and how to use it and you pay prices far over the market value.

    Chinese consumers share a similar tablet OS desire.
    44% of the poll selected Windows,34 % preferred iOS and only 18% chose Android.
    Collectively, BlackBerry, PalmOS and MeeGo were only 5% of individuals.

    Microsoft is still a very desirable brand and the company is only hurting themselves
    each day they don?t bring Windows 8 to market.

    I'm disappointed that a CPM tablet is not offered in Spanish. Very disappointed.
