Windows MIA in the tablet PC wars?

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer can say whatever he wants about the tablet computer market's future, but all signs indicate that Windows most likely would never be a significant factor, at least for the very near future. Most industry observers concur that Windows does not figure much in the tablet PC scene.

It must be a rather painful and embarrassing situation to be in. Imagine, everybody is talking about the future of computing and nobody is saying anything about Microsoft and its flagship platform, Windows. Hey, even PC vendors who have had long history with Windows are turning out tablet PCs running on Android, Google's mobile operating system.
