Does anyone still believe Windows tablets are going to be huge?

Thought so.

These are ridicilous prices. This will flop even harder than I have predicted.


Yes, windows 8 tablets will be huge.  You were saying windows 8 would be a disaster a few weeks ago too. Wrong yet again,hobby of yours isn't it. 

Not been around much lately have you.  All the good MS news driving you to despair? 

I didn't say Windows 8 OS for PCs would be a disaster. Far from it. But on all other devices than PCs, yes.

What good MS news have released lately? Nothing positive about tablets and phones I reckon.

Yeah, in summary Microsoft leadership is out of touch with reality and the whole Win 8 echosystem (incl Phone 8, Win 8 tablets and the Win 8 PC OS) is such an enormous failure that will even start to alienate the business market and lead to a death spiral for MS.

That was a summary of SemiAccurate Charlie's opinion, which I largely agree with.

Win 8 OS for PC sales will be good, but it will be the basis to a process that alienates all customers including businesses.

So Windows 8 as a OS will be seen as a failure because it couldn't build the echo-system across PCs, tablets and phones, but instead started to alienate even the core business.
