What Microsoft doesn't seem to understand here is that there is more involved than price. At $250 to $350 some of the more popular Chromebooks aren't much cheaper than entry level Windows' laptops. It's the "not having to worry about" updates and viruses that are attracting a lot of users. It's kind of like a "tablet" laptop. A cheaper Windows 8.1 computer will be more of the same ... just cheaper ... and under powered.
Can you imagine Windows 8.1 "Starter Edition." Windows killed netbooks, I don't think they're going to be able to do that to Chromebooks.
