As long as the subpixels are horizontally-aligned and RGB ordered.
Turn a screen 180 degrees and your subpixels are BGR ordered, which doesn't look that good with Cleartype.
Turn it 90 degrees and your subpixels are vertically aligned, which looks bloody awful with Cleartype.
Since people are going to be using their tablets any way up Microsoft made the right choice in turning off subpixel anti-aliasing. "
Right, and since Win8 supports auto-rotation with an accelerometer, that will occur more frequently on tablets.
