Have had all three OS, here are some thoughts:
8" is the size for me, 7 too small & 10 too big
Android needs good hardware to run fast/well, others require less
Windows store is rubbish, Apple the best , android reasonable

I now have a full win8 tab, the RT are to be avoided.
It has a micro to USB adapter, can install any windows program - windows 8 for me runs fairly well, I can't complain about it.
The touch interface isn't as nice as IOS (for eg I have a problem zooming on stellarium-means I have to call up full screen keyboard )

Apple for me have gone away from there roots-constant updates, large downloads (iTunes used to be 50-70mb, now +200)
Apple used to just work, increasingly I am frustrated by it-windows 8 seems good, and windows 8phone is quite good.

Android often needs a custom install to get rid of company bloated-Samsung are bad but they all do it-the generic ones can be underpowered as android can be thirsty for a decent engine under the hood-the free play store apps are a big plus (eg data free navigation apps)
