I think this discussion misses something very important - that you don't need a tablet to
run Windows 8 apps. The beauty of W8 over iOS is that you can do it all on the one
machine. All you have to do is connect up a couple of little touch screens to your main
desktop and you've got all the control you could need. You could have your cubase mixer on
one and Automap on another while running your project on your main screen. And if the apps
do emerge from the Marketplace then you can run them at the same time as Cubase because
you have all the power of an enormous desktop computer behind them - all midi integrated
internally - it's going to be a beautiful thing and you can leave your ipad for email,
facebook and playing games with the kids.
...... this of course
assumes that any of that would actually work - but it sounds completely feasible to me and
i like to dream
