> Microsoft clearly wants to be in the hardware business and to make money this way > Amazon clearly wants full control over their own OS. You keep saying things are clear but provide absolutely no proof of this. What if Amazon doesn't want full control over their own OS, but just wants a good enough OS and hasn't found one yet? What if Microsoft doesn't really want to be in the tablet hardware business but just wants to give other OEM's a reference design? Both are just as possible as what you propose.
