Microsoft Slashes Prices On Surface
McGruber writes "Thursday, The Verge broke the news that Microsoft was slashing the price of its tablets — the price of the 32-gig Surface RT plummeted by 42%! Staples, TigerDirect and many other retailers are already selling the tablets at the lowered prices. I wonder what Microsoft will do for customers who purchased a tablet right before the price drop?"
It's a first-gen hardware product from Microsoft, they should have to pay you for the headaches you're inevitably going to have
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you
"I wonder what Microsoft will do for customers who purchased a tablet right before the price drop?"
Salute them as 'early adopters' and congratulate them for getting in early to avoid the rush.
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,
Never been known to fail..."

Microsoft has great products they can use to compensate those early adopters.
How about a brown Zune?

Well Zune Pass has got to work (ForSure)!
What are you saying you heretic!
Bill says that in order to do serious Enterprise work, you need a stylus, a keyboard and Microsoft Office. The Surface RT has all three [well, you need to spring for the keyboard and stylus, but oh, that satisfying 'click' when you attach the keyboard to the Surface]!
And Bill knows!
Sleep your way to a whiter smile...date a dentist!
