Sorry, my comment might have made it seem like I think it's a bad idea.
Absolutely I think it's great for all the reasons stated above, I just think it would have been a lot better if Windows RT either would have had this at the time (I realize it wasn't ready then and must have been a massive job), or would have been less restricted with the advertised caveat that apps would need to be compiled with ARM support - somewhat akin to how Apple managed the whole PowerPC -> Intel transition with universal binaries back in the day.
