People forget how expensive computing was before Microsoft brought prices down. The $1,500 NT workstations of the late 1990s were easily the equal of machines that cost $10K or more... it made powerful stuff truly accessible.
The challenge with WP and Windows 8 is to return to that ethos. Bring on the $250 unlocked Lumia 620s and the $300 fully-functional Windows 8 tablets!
