It's interesting to note that the Surface 3 diverges from the Surface 2 and RT in that it has an x86 processor. I think this may be a concession that bringing developers over to write WinRT applications is an uphill battle, and the device marketplace is not going to stand still and wait for that to happen.

But the risk is that most Surface owners will attach a keyboard and a mouse to it, turning it into a nice laptop. That decreases demand for tablet apps, and from there to fewer tablet apps, more users who buy keyboards, etc.
