Sure it's a gamble, and a risky one for that. But continuing business as usual is IMO even riskier. Possible that Win8 could face the same fate on desktops like Vista did. How that wuld effect customer perception of Win8 on tablets, well good question.
the main benefit I see in Win8-tablets is that you finally get a real computer for the price of a real computer and not an oversized smartphone you can't use to make phone calls for the price oy a computer. But that's just my opinion.
