Obviously that something so cheap is very unlikely to be run with Windows 8, but instead are expected to run with a Google operating system, perhaps a modified version of Chrome OS.Currently, any tablet or notebook using Windows 8 has a price of not less than $ 600, so we're not entirely sure what Intel's plans to lower the cost of your new creations.
