I wouldn’t be so sure about that as HD resolution is coming to 7″ as well and the only real limit, besides a minimum hardware performance and specification support, is the minimal resolution support to fully enable Metro functionality. So if the 7″ tablets start getting the required resolutions screens then we may start seeing Windows RT/8 installed on even smaller systems than 10″… It’s just going to take longer than how HD screens are spreading on the larger systems.

Good point about the dual boot possibility, though that may be limited to just Windows RT and the default Android install. Given that MS is going to make it hard to run any OS that isn’t certified on ARM devices… Unless we start seeing more x86 tablets by then…

I agree that no one will see windows 8 on a 7 inch tablet unless Microsoft lowers their specs on Windows 8 hard ware but The kindle fire 2 will be a larger tablet and it is more than likely that there will be a larger Nook 2 that will have the specs that will allow windows 8 to be put on it. in that case the Nook 2 with a 10.1 screen could come in an Android Version and a a Windows 8 Version or be set up to dual boot ether one.

Microsoft profiting from someone else’s hard work on another platform. Wow. Imagine. And it will continue, until MS decides to do the same here as they do everywhere else: assert total control of the platform, charge for access and make every possible decision to ruin their customer base.
