Microsoft reduced prices for Windows 8 and Office 13 for laptop manufacturers

The major US newspaper, the Wall Street Journal, has just posted information that Microsoft has lowered prices for Windows 8 and Office 2013 products from $ 120 to $ 30 for laptop manufacturers.

This step is said to increase sales of small laptops with touch screens.

While the software giant has not officially confirmed this information, various sources said Microsoft actually made discounts from the previous month. The object of Microsoft 's discount is the laptops with touch screens smaller than 10.8 inches.

If it is true, this step will definitely help partially improve the gloomy state of the PC market . However, it is unclear how much of the $ 90 cut will come to end users.
