The two forms will have to compete on the two price points:
Why would I buy another tablet that is a strictly mobile OS when I could get a more fully featured Windows 8 RT Surface tablet for the same price as an iPad or Android tablet; and
Why would I buy a laptop/ultrabook that's strictly a desktop OS when I could get a tablet experience as well with a Windows 8 pro Surface for the same price as a laptop.
Neither of those will be compelling arguments if Windows 8 is clunky on launch, though.
