Microsoft Makes Another "Nearly Sold Out" Claim For the Surface Line
Microsoft made some confident sounding claims about sales of its first-generation Surface tablets before it became clear that the tablets weren't actually selling very well. So make what you will of the company's claim that the second version is "close to selling out." As the linked article points out, the company has "fallen short of offering any real explanation as to just how “close” to selling out the Surface 2 and Pro 2 really are – nor have they indicated how many were on hand to order in the first place."
Nearly sold out! But the 1 was sold to Ballmer, as an expensive coaster.
They would never lie to us.
Help stamp out iliturcy.
Metro interfece is nice, but useless without software.
Microsoft interfeces? Sounds like shitty interfaces to me!

Microsoft usually can see the train coming long before it arrives.
Microsoft's train of thought is still boarding at the station.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
I'm not sure, but the end of the line must be coming soon.

Oh, you guys don't understand Microsoft! You think Microsoft is a mediocre software and hardware company. That's a mistake. Microsoft is one of the best of what it does: Evil.
And lies, of course, evil and lies.
And manipulation. Evil, lies, and manipulation.
I forgot incompetence. Evil, lies, manipulation, and incompetence. Very good at incompetence.
Then there is releasing unfinished products.
Evil, lies, manipulation, incompetence, and releasing unfinished products. Experts at all those things.
