The article seems to strongly suggest this will be a derivative of the Windows OS and not WP7.
I wonder if this will just be Windows CE or a more capable but stripped down version of the desktop OS. I'd prefer the later, but doubt Intel based programs would easily run the ARM based version of Windows.
I wonder if I'd be happy with a Windows CE derivative? I'm still not sure I could do everything with CE that I want to do on a tablet.

Microsoft will discuss the software at the Consumer Electronics Show in early January, though it isn't expected to be available for two years, they added.
