Windows 8 has more compatibility with other Windows software, making it more attractive to corporations, while Windows RT will “be a very good consumer box,” Schmoock said. Windows 8 tablets will cost $600 to $700, he said.

Windows 8 Tablets will run $600-700, Windows RT tablets will run $400-500.
Perfectly good--but not insane--pricing.
