The price of TabletPCs

A News.com article reveals that MS is getting hefty license fees for their TabletPC Version of XP. Check this quote of Acer President Wang Chen-tang:

_“The cost of a tablet PC is $200 (7,000 Taiwan dollars) more than its notebook counterpart. Of this difference, the hardware cost is only between $30 and $60. The majority of the difference comes from the OS license,” said Wang. “We have tried to negotiate the fee with Microsoft several times in vain. It’s very regrettable.”_
