Microsoft Cuts Surface Pro Price By $100
SmartAboutThings writes "After discounting the Surface RT tablet worldwide by 30 percent, Microsoft is now cutting the price of its Surface Pro tablet by one hundred dollars. Steve Ballmer himself has recently declared that he was unhappy with the number of tablets Microsoft has managed to sell. The price cut offer is valid between August 4th and August 29th. It might continue or stop, according to the supply. The price cut is applicable to Surface Pro 64 GB & 128 GB models."
As much as I have been fairly anti-MS over the years (except their backend stuff, that's decent), they have been such a staple of nerd\geek culture over these many years that I find myself saddened and feeling quite bad for them as I watch them make such huge, and possibly in the long term, suicidal mistakes. It is only as I watch them die a slow death that I realize I have had an affection for them all along.
Sorry, nothing insightful or informative to mod up here. I just wanted to say my piece.
