I'm pretty sure Dell had to swear off tablets after their first failed foray. Maybe I'm thinking of HP.

Many Windows 8 Intel "Clover Trail" tablets still delayed until early 2013
http://www.neowin.net/news/many-windows-8-intel-clover-trail-tablets-still-delayed-until-early-2013
In September, Intel announced its new Atom Z2760 processor, better known by its code name "Clover Trail". The dual-core low power chip was designed specifically to run Windows 8 and was supposed to offer features such as long battery life and "connected standby".
A month ago, and three weeks after the launch of Windows 8, we reported that the only tablets with the Intel Atom Z2760 chip inside that were on sale were the Samsung ATIV Smart PC and the Acer Iconia W510. Now it looks like all those other "Clover Trail" tablets promised from other PC makers won't be released in 2012 after all.
Information Week reports that Dell's Latitude 10, shown above, is not due to ship until at least January 22nd. The HP Envy x2 Envy's current ship date is January 9th. Two more Windows 8 tablets with the chip, the Asus VivoTab Smart and the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2, don't have any ship dates listed at all.

Dell make practically zero effort on their Android devices and their results were commensurate with their efforts, ie do nothing get nothing. Of course that wasn't mentioned in the article for some reason.
Ahhh revisionist history..

Good to see touch based monitors but hope they can keep the cost down.

US Department of Defense to start using Windows 8, buys $617 million worth of Microsoft licenses
Man that's allot of licenses.

450,000 full time employees each with at least one assigned computer and then the thousands of typically single-purpose servers that using Microsoft software seems to demand.
Imagine how much outfitting them all with hardware to "effectively" run the software is going to cost. A crying shame at half the price.
harshness:
I had to stop and think about the "at least one assigned computer". Took a moment or two to realize that multiple systems is going to be fairly common due to the nature of their computing.
From a security pespective, I'd be concerned if large portions of the network and kernel stack were't written in (and by) US citizens. Since Windows isn't free and open source, this is a valid concern.

Although I own 5 windows 8 licenses, I have yet to install it since it is still incompatible with business web sites that I have to use (IE10).
It appears to be still be floundering http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=29546

The fact that Windows isn't free or open source doesn't change the fact that portions of its TCP/IP implemenation are open source based.
I suspect that you've failed to consider what Win7 followed as compared to what Win8 followed. Vista is perhaps Microsoft's second best operating system to upgrade from (first place going to Windows Me). On the other hand Win7 is easily in the top three Windows operating systems to upgrade to (Along with Windows 2000 and Windows 98se).

Lenovo reveals 27-inch touchscreen AIO-tablet Windows 8 PC, testing 39-incher

It is unusual because you can unplug it and it has a 2 hour battery. But it 27 inches, not exactly the most portable size...
