Windows 8 Intel tablets may be priced to fail

Tablets running Windows 8 on Intel architecture may be priced too high to succeed in the tablet market, with rumored pricing hitting the $600-$800 ball park because neither Windows nor chip-maker Intel are willing to drop their prices.The reason neither company wants to go lower on prices is partly good old-fashioned greed, but also because they are loathe to "damage" pricing in the PC market; cheaper tablets could force down the prices of PCs, notebooks, software - otherwise known as Microsoft's bread and butter.
