"When new products sell out on launch day it usually means one of two things: it’s a hot product or they didn’t make enough. Unfortunately for Microsoft, it appears that the Surface Pro falls into the latter category. My local (Northern Virginia) Microsoft store sold out in 15 minutes, which means there wasn’t much to sell."

The Zune sold out in 2009 too.

Look, I think the Surface Pro will be a success. Unfortunately for Microsoft, its the RT platform that really matters. The world doesn't need another touch enabled Windows 8 PC, there's going to be hundreds of them. The Atom based devices that are starting to hit the market now are going to be even more interesting than current i5 based Surface Pro. Haswell holds even more promise.

We need Microsoft (or someone) to produce a Post PC era device to compete with the iPad and Android tablets. A Windows device that runs a ton of apps, one that lasts for 8-10 hours on a charge, one that doesn't need to worry about viruses, one that doesn't need 30+gb for the OS, one that can upgraded with a new download and install in 15 min... Basically what Microsoft promised us with RT last year.

Skate to where the puck is going, not where's its been.
