Microsoft's been holding Surface for Windows RT sales figures close to its chest so far, but CEO Steve Ballmer has allowed in an interview with Le Parisien that the much ballyhooed tablet is off to a "modest" start. The bombastic exec gave that appraisal while touting the imminent arrival of the tab's higher-powered sibling, Surface for Windows 8 Pro, though he didn't elaborate further. After all the cake it's no doubt lavished marketing the slate, we'll have to see if the software giant finds the hardware game tough to swallow.
Oh. Maybe they shouldn't have released a tablet with no apps and limited functionality when you can get an iPad for the same price or a Nexus 10 for $100 less I'm expecting an HP TouchPad esque fire sale in a few months.
i was perplexed by this one. i wanted one but the pricing was just too much a blow. When there was a rumor of a 200.00 dollar rt but then we get this pricing, many where left upset (including myself)
They pretty much shot themselves in the foot with the price. If I'm gonna pay 800 bucks for a tablet, it better do things that even a regular computer can't.
