As techmeme reports, windows RT based tablet have started from asus global for $600, not still expected in asian region while launching it first in US and European markets. Windows RT is going to be something new to look about in tablets as microsoft tries to dominate OS market in tabs and smartphones. But pricing is one thing microsoft is going to take a beat against android.
While windows 8 pricing today was latest news, starting from $70 to full pro versions at $140 including media pack of it. So its now all public and open for sale. While Windows 7 (original) users will get update for $14 or INR 800 in india, stand alone cost will be as stated above. I have always been against these sort of paid updates which is nothing but one sort of making business where microsoft keep creating new OS and systems while intel and AMD guys keep rolling new gen. processor wile customers keep shelling for new PC every 2-3 years or so. That's why i have stick to my faulty compaq laptop whose even DVD ROM, 1 USB, wifi driver (for XP) not working. Plus one key gone (never used it) and one key keeps sticking like anything.
