Microsoft Cuts Surface Pro Price By $100

Posted by samzenpus on from the slashing-prices dept.

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."

    Wouldn't a good shill be defined as someone who's able to convince people he's not a shill? :)

    Doesn't work on Slashdot though. If you say anything even slightly positive about Microsoft/Windows/Office or related stuff, you're a shrill. If you're raise concerns (well-meaning as they might be) about Linux or open source, you're a scummy shrill. If you raise the possibility that a Mac might be less stressful and a better fit than a Linux machine for your average Joe, you're an Apple fanboy.

    Slashdot is a place full of opinions. Moderation though tends to encourage only one type of opinion, which is why I hate what ArsTechnica did with their addition of voting on comments.
