Microsoft
may brand the Surface tablet with OEMs partners logos and offer them the device at
cost price.
After
reading a CRN post about
how could be the reactions from Microsoft OEMs partners to the own MS just
announced Surface tablet, the only way we see they will agree to keep going
with windows 8 on tablets that they are not making themselves, is to allow them
to get the Surface tablet instead at the real
cost price of each model windows RT and with windows 8 pro , but branded
with their logos , or just like it is now with MS`s
Maybe a
clue of this vision was made by MS themselves on the Press Release footnote :
"Suggested retail pricing will be announced closer to availability and is expected to be competitive with a comparable ARM tablet or Intel Ultrabook-class PC.
OEMs will have cost and feature parity on Windows 8 and Windows RT."
We don`t think it is referring
to the software only, but to the hardware as well. Time will tell.
