Sorry for asking what may seem like a silly question - but if that is the case with the Windows tablet....

Why on earth would I want such a feature on a tablet?

Isn't that bloatware mainly consisting of a recovery image which can be moved to external media to free up space if desired? This is the same thing you get when you buy a laptop or desktop (with 500GB+). In short this is necessary to enable you to reinstall the OS on the tablet without connecting it to any external source
