Asus Windows 8 tablets to cost up to $1299?

It's as if they don't even want to sell them.

I agree. Why I would want the Atom version, when the Surface Pro will have an i5 at roughly the same price point or less, is beyond me. I also have difficulty seeing the use for the "Taichi" model; I never had many problems sharing files between two users on the same machine, myself (and how many laptops/tablets have more than one user, anyhow?) or between two separate PCs (how would having 2 panels make THAT any easier?).

Meh.

What a lack of vision.

If companies will price the Windows 8 tabs aggressively, they can knock the iPad off its perch.

It's moronic moves like this that have established a market that is Apple and the also-rans. Hopefully Microsoft will show 'em how it's done with the Surface. Unfortunately, the Zune history doesn't give us lots of reason for optimism about Microsoft's hardware marketing strategy.
