Microsoft is planning to announce something big on Monday, but they won't say what just yet. And at this point, it points to a Microsoft branded Windows 8 Tablet. TechCrunch claims it will be co-branded as a Nook device and will feature Xbox's streaming features.

The rumor has it that the tablet would be able to stream video content from ESPN and HBO and the Nook branding actually makes sense, since Barnes and Noble has a plan to spin off the unit and Microsoft had a decision to sink some $300 million into the product line.
