You hard it here first. DOA.

I like my XPS 10. It's useful. Having a USB to Serial adapter driver, a serial console, and a VNC client would make it more useful, though. Currently, I use it to remote to servers using Remote Desktop, web interfaces for our KVMs, SSH access to Linux and Unix machines, and accessing documentation at work, while at home I can open and make small documents, play certain games, surf the web, and watching Hulu and Netflix. The screen is kind of annoying for reading through the Kindle app. It's too narrow to read vertically (three to four words per line) and too short to read horizontally. So, generally, I'm happy with it.

RT wasn't bad. I love the idea of a tablet that comes standard with a command prompt. Yes, it's clunky to use on a tablet, but I still love it.
I would be more inclined to get one at $250 or so, but not at the $400 price when atom tablets are sometimes cheaper

By itself WinRT is decent for a consumer tablet, although prices will obviously need to drop and smaller, cheaper models need to be released. One of the main purposes of WinRT is to keep the pressure on Intel.
The next gen Atoms might even be decent, we already know the ULV IVB chips are good, but they are reserved for higher-end devices. Without this pressure, the next gen Atom wouldn't be nearly as good or cheap, and the ULV Core chips would cost even more.
