Gates: Windows Tablet to Be Same Price
as XP Pro 07/12/2004 12:38 PM

So what makes Tablet PCs more expensive than their laptop counterparts? Some say it's the OS, while others claim it's the extra hardware. Either way, it's about to get cheaper, as Bill Gates himself has announced that the price premium on Windows XP Tablet PC Edition -- which he says was only about $15 greater than regular XP in the first place -- will be dropped to fall in line with everything else. Which means that companies like Acer, who have blamed the high cost of the OS as the reason its tablets cost 200 to 300 dollars than otherwise equivalent laptops, will basically have to put up or shut up, considering they themselves quoted the hardware costs as being only about 30 to 60 dollars more. Who's lying? Who cares, as long as the prices drop.

ActiveWin.com Book of the Day: Breaking
Windows: How Bill Gates Fumbled the
Future of Microsoft 12/03/2003 12:39 AM
David Bank's Breaking Windows offers a scathing inside look at the past few tumultuous years at the Microsoft Corporation. Bank, who covers the company for The Wall Street Journal, bases this well-written tale on interviews he has conducted with most major players (including Bill Gates), along with boxes of e-mails and other documents that "provided an unprecedented glimpse into strategic debates and internal decision-making processes of a company that had long restricted outside access to its insular corporate culture." Through them he shows how Microsoft, which always put software above everything--and in more recent years made Windows its number-one priority--has scrambled and squabbled as first the Internet and then the U.S. government forced major directional changes and significant internal reevaluations.
