I prefer Android as it gives users a lot of freedom to customise there experience, and still retains enough simplicity for a novice to just pickup and use the tablet.

iOS feels a bit too basic for me, going by the experience on my mates first gen iPad all you get is a wall of apps you can launch, i found it a bit too boring personally.

As for Windows RT, i'm interested however i think its going to need a couple of years to mature. In its current state i don't think its something i would use solely on a tablet. However as a Netbook / Tablet hybrid i'm interested.

I love Android. I wish I could run it on my desktop.

Android all the way. iOS a second. Wouldn't use RT though, hate it with a passion.

I can't see voting for RT since we don't know enough about it yet.

I can't live without the Market.

Unfortunately most ports of the Android code to non supported devices don't have the market. As for RT, I think I've seen enough of it to have an informed opinion. Granted the experience will be a bit different with a tablet in input terms, but I think we can pass judgement on the design aspects fairly readily

I have used iOS and Android and I choose iOS by a far. It is much nicer on a tablet.

Currently using Win 7 and Android ICS on my mobile devices; for now I'll say Android on a tablet. No RT tablets out on the market yet so it's mostly purely speculation.. but from what I've seen so far I'm 99% sure I'll be switching to Windows across the board once it's available.

how can we vote for windows 8, when it's not publicly available with any tablet yet?

[Javik]

The fact that you can preview the RT experience on the desktop gives you a reasonable idea of what you'll be getting.

Windows RT is basically Windows 8 x86 with Metro only (well you can use the desktop for Office, IE, and Explorer)

Windows 8 x86 is available and it works AWESOME on tablet computers.

Windows 8 (x86 then RT) for SURE are the best tablet OSs

WebOS has to be the worse mobile operating systems I have ever used. It is just too slow.

Windows 8, regular not RT. RT shouldn't even be an option to vote since there are no devices out that anyone here is running.

So might be best to just remove "RT" from the Windows 8 option.

Win8.... it has a number of advantages even now over the competition..... real multitasking with the snap view, browser with native flash, app contracts, xbox live, office, etc.

Android OS first, probably Windows 8 second. I'd have to play with it on a tablet to see, but I think it will be fantastic.

BBOS isn't too bad on them either. It's quite smooth, but I think some of the UI is less than intuitive, the way to close and switch between windows feels awkward at times. I will say that they've blazed their own trail there and not copied anyone else, so that's something. I'd tweak a few things though if I could.
