Island - are you using a slate? Or do you have access to a Surface?

other than game consoles - Window's forays into hardware have been miserable at best. And I still don't understand why they are choosing the tablet to make a statement - I realize that perhaps they have finally seen the light from that glowing apple in the distance (software/hardware really integrated from one source)... but, past results certainly makes one wonder why? Plus - no release date - no 'ballpark' pricing... I know apple teases... but, the Surface seems to be just that at this point - surface fluff.

Would anyone 'create' on a tablet - mostly not, it isn't 'created' for that purpose. Can I really expect an iPad to replace my 27" iMac - hardly - I want to consume content on any tablet, along with an option to do minimal creation. No tablet is going to handle multiple gig video or photoshop files - nor do I expect that. With a tablet most expect a platform that delivers content extremely well - not one that creates it. Once again apple 'gets' it, by delivering a platform that excels in screen and sound, great access to web and social media, without bothering to be something it isn't, a machine that can do complicated spreadsheets and word docs.

Create on the real machine - cloud it - then use the portability of the tablet for on-location review, etc. These days, I would never, ever store 'real' files on a tablet - things get lost...
