The Lenovo tablet I have runs on an Intel Atom processor. Only 2GB ram,
which I suspect causes quite a bit of data swapping to the 64GB SSD.
In my opinion, Windows RT is a dead end unless you're talking about an
industry vertical niche...like ATMs or processing hardware.
I'd also offer that after quite a bit of experience with the Google Apps
Store, the Windows App Store was a shocker. Pretty much nothing available.

You mean on the tabs exclusively? Well, Windows RT no - it's a different
codebase, on the ARM architecture. The non-RT tabs run Windows 8 as per
desktop machines, so basically the same as Windows 7. There are of
course considerations around the touch UI when on a capable device.
But VFP is getting increasingly flaky as new versions of SMB and so on
appear, and I don't really blame M$ in a way from wanting to get away
from having to worry about the archaic multiuser and locking mechanism
it uses. So in 2015 a Windows update might appear that knackers
networked VFP apps, and there won't be anything we can do about it.
Can't support everything for ever.
