Default Microsoft Still Pursuing Windows 7 Based Slates

http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/07/1...blet-computers/

"No worries, guys, because Microsoft is “hardcore” about tablets. Well, “hardcore” about Windows 7-based slate computers. So said Steve Ballmer at its Worldwide Partners Conference in Seattle. Microsoft says that its big strength here is that it consumers will have a wide variety of choice when it comes to buying a Windows-based tablet. That’s opposed, of course, to a certain other company’s tablet offering that is available in any color, so long as it’s black. You know what I mean."

Quit talking and get something done.  I want a slate that is not an iPad and I want it now.  Earlier this year I fully expected to have an HP product running Windows 7 in my hands by now, but we all know how that went.  At this point, I'm kind of expecting that I'll be owning an Android based slate by the end of the year unless Microsoft and their partner get their butts in gear.
