Windows 8.1 is as good on small tablets as big ones

Acer last month released the 8-inch Iconia W3 tablet, which happened to be the first "small tablet" to run Windows 8. Unfortunately, it's a pretty terrible tablet. It's heavy and cumbersome, looks and feels like it was designed for a child, and has a display that will bring tears -- sad tears -- to your eyes.

That would be worth discussing at length except that Acer apparently agrees, and is working on a revamped version of the tablet for release later this year. That makes a review of the hardware itself irrelevant.

The software, though, still matters. As the first small Widows 8 device, Acer's misfire helps answer the question: Does Microsoft's operating system hold up in this form factor?
