Or to compete with Apple's rumored tablet...... 

Microsoft and HP have teamed up to introduce a slate computer ahead of Apple's much rumoured device launch.

Expect stock issues. Just like the PS3 was released a few days before the Wii (announced just after Nintendo announce its release) and experienced VERY limited stock, I expect Microsoft/HP will encounter it too.
