Um...OK. The Macalope supposes that's possible, but with Windows 8 not even shipping until the fall it's not going to be easy--particularly if ARM tablets aren't coming until later than fall, as the "report" claims.

DigiTimes's "source" (really, there aren't enough quotes in the world to make DigitTimes's material look sufficiently questionable) further said that there would be 32 Windows 8 tablets on the market by the end of this year, with prices ranging from "below $300," to compete with the Kindle Fire, to "over $300," to compete with the iPad.

So obviously a really targeted launch that's sure not to cause any confusion. Clearly both Microsoft and the OEMs have a well-defined strategy that hits what people want in a tablet--not that compromised user experience that's been foisted on them for the past two years. If the Macalope may be so bold, he believes their strategy can be summarized thusly:

"WE KILL APPLE! KIIIIILLL! RRRAAWWWRRRRBLOZZERFLAZZERBLOOZLIE!"
