So your point is that Homegroup does the trick - sharing like between several PCs. Understand.
How about streaming from the PC - e.g. a TV program you run on the PC.
I was not thinking of any specific TV program. My point was streaming (as opposed to sharing and copying) something to the tablet which is running on the PC.
Indeed - I was quite surprised at the headline, because (as someone who uses a Surface RT as a primary business device) I was a little surprised that Windows RT was DOA already.

All this time I thought I'd been using it to get stuff done, but apparently I was wrong!

What on earth is a 'slablet' ??
You made a very thoughtful post - I like. I wonder what Sony will charge for their Xperia Z. Looks like a nice piece of gear - although I did not have much luck with my Sony Vaio laptop. Had to RMA it.Products like this Sony's Xperia Tablet Z announced: 1.5GHz quad-core, 10.1-inch 1,920 x 1,200 screen and 6.9mm thickness (and a myriad of similar stuff still to come) will give RT a difficult job when it comes to convince the general moneyspending public to part with their cash (and Apple is in the game as well).
And as Android evolves, together with major manufacturers offering more and more staggering high-tech \ highly-useable devices, the consumer masses may turn to it in larger and larger number. Do not doubt that Google\Android are planning for a serious and expanding future, they may have Apple primarily in the crosshairs, but may move on to shock MS later on.
IMO W8\MS's late and blotched attempt (so far) at catching up will face (aka is already facing) a serious uphill battle. And even if W8 products do have some success, Google & Apple will respond with powerful countermeasures. The coming 6 months will be quite telling, as hard facts and numbers will materialize.
Whatever, it'll be an interesting future, and the consumer may be the winning part as offerings, alternatives and specs evolves while pricing 'devolves'.
btw, personally I give a damn who makes what, as long as what I need to do gets done without headaches.
Also, there will also be competition from these types of devices, which are very cheap and suffiecient for many people: AnandTech - Acer C7 Chromebook Review.

Correct, that is another proliferation of the market. But it gets even better. Have a look at this little cute tablet that I am going to buy for my granddaughter. These things work very well - I tried one out. And this one is even rooted and Google Playstore enabled which makes it even better. No hassle with that.

Yes, cheap and cheerful will satisfy a large percentage of the market, that's why there's so much effort going into making cheap tablets. Android and iOS is not going away, more so Android, as it's coming out in so many sizes and Samsung has now revealed an 8" tablet to further kick Apple where it hurts (after they were forced to introduce a 7" iPad): Samsung exec confirms 8-inch Galaxy Note coming to MWC
