I was just sitting here tonight reading some posts on Windows 8 and the Surface tablet and I've almost convinced myself that Microsoft knows that Windows 8 is going to flop on the desktop because of a lack of touchscreen, so conveniently they are going to release the Surface tablet around the exact same time, possibly at a super low price tag of $199 simply to give people a reason to use Windows 8 in the way it was meant to be used, and get them into the RT version that is more locked to their store to ensure they control all sales of software and skim some off the top along the way.
It's like the "chicken and the egg". Which comes first. Does Microsoft need Windows 8 to sell the surface, or do they need the surface to sell Windows 8?
