As far leaked the news about the Windows Blue is also very limited, so many people think that the Windows Blue is basically just Windows 8 system upgrade rather than a new product.
But now there is news that Windows 8 biggest role is to allow Microsoft and its partners to develop a smaller size, lower price Tablet PC, of those Tablet PC screen size from 7 inches to 10 inches.
Silicon Valley consulting firm Creative Strategies, a consumer technology analyst of this Bai Jialin (Ben Bajarin) is such that, a thematic article he published in Tab Times noted: "Microsoft has not been involved in the field of 7 inches to 8 inches Tablet PC discussion. they will lose some share of the estimated 10 inches Tablet PC will be the 2013 Tablet PC market mainstream products, its sales will be more than 60% share of the minimum size of the Windows 8 Tablet PC can do 10.1 inches. and it's partners are not to participate in the market's most popular small size Tablet PC competition. "
But the Baijia Lin, Windows Blue may be able to solve this problem, because it is expected to support the smaller screen size. In addition, it is expected that the Microsoft Windows Blue system to provide partners when the price will be lower than Windows 8.Each Tablet PC Windows Blue system cost is estimated between $ 40 to $ 50 $ 20 lower price than the cost of Windows 8 system. System cost reduction will make a lot of price between $ 199 to $ 349 Tablet PC products to obtain higher profits.
Disappointing early sales of Windows 8 Tablet PC, Microsoft urgent need to improve the attractiveness of the Windows 8 Tablet PC for consumers, reduced body size and lower machine prices will certainly contribute to the achievement of that goal.
Microsoft certainly know it. In fact, Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein (Peter Klein) last month on the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference confirmed that the company's next step is indeed ready to launch the smaller size of the Tablet PC.
