So the new Kindle Fires are coming to the UK and are under cutting the Nexus 7....

But more interestingly , does Microsoft or a windows tablet stand any chance in this very highly competitive market.

With the someone lack of interest in Windows 8 , does anyone really care about Microsoft's offering anymore?

the MS ones look like they will be able to play normal windows apps, so open to a huge amount more than any other tablet. that's appealing to me. but price is important too, if it's too expensive i won't get one. most people probably don't need to do that on a tablet so the cheap ones are fine for them. if anything, it might bring the overall tablet prices down
