This isn't fun for me anymore.
Says the person who posted the important bit.
Full finger support.
Nearly every thing on desktop was not and has nit be updated for touch control.
Just lol.
Then go ask 100 people what they want in/on a tablet. 95 will tell you android/ios type system.
Having x86 support is good, but it's a bonus for mass market. The tablet and apps still need to be up to scratch and cheap enough for mass market.
Go disconnect the keyboard, put away the stylus, and stay in desktop for all off to tomorrow then come back and report how you found it.

One that has a full unrestricted OS with full USB support and not relying on any marketplace?
No, as proved by market share.

No Surface has "Full" USB support.
It's a lower powered port. Hilariously, the port in the Asus T-100 keyboard's full power. So that can run my Single USB powered Blu-ray drive, while my triple the price S3 Pro can't.
You mean the market share that was divided between iOS and Android allowing them to get a worldwide foothold before MS started the Surface thing years later.
Yea..yea I can see how that works that in a few years the entire established market base hasn't shifted tight over.

Yea...I'm still laughing about the fact you are the only person I know of that needs to carry around a BR drive.
I don't even know anyone that uses physical media anymore.
Curious do you have numbers. Seeing as all the pros come under just Windows 8 software they aren't classed as "tablets" it seems.

What's funny about owning physical Blu-rays?
What other service do I have that allows me to have the same quality on the go except piracy?
Caporegime
If most rip, then they'd still buy the physical media.
And an actual rip of a disc could be like 50GB.
You can't actually store that on an S3 64GB.
Caporegime
Yeah, I'm just going to keep buying physical media.
Pretty sure we live in different worlds.

I really have no desire to just rip stuff, I don't have any need to either.
Unless I'm on the go, and then yeah sure, I'll rip stuff to my 64GB SD card (I say rip, I'd probably just torrent some 720p stuff since it takes like no time at all on my home connection these days) for my S2.
But I have my external Blu-ray drive on my desk, with my S3 to my right, sometimes it's nice to just sit and chill with a Blu-ray on. I ended up getting a powered hub, and it all works well enough.

App store is a major thing stopping people adopting windows tablets IMO. If someone walks into a store looking at Android & Apple tablets they won't consider the Windows one in most instances as it doesn't offer the same level of ecosystem. At the moment it's just appealing to a niche market.
