IMHO we should immediately dump the Surface 2 RT mess and go with the Pro version which runs normal Windows and works well.
Wow, that is so vastly much better than the RT turd we're slogging away on! I hope you forward this article to someone involved in the EFB fiasco, as you probably know who that might be, and I don't actually trust that Delta will ever notice or know about this Pro 3 option if someone doesn't tell them...
Be the man BB!

ALSO... I'm a Windows guy mostly, using and like Win 7, kids have Windows 8 original on laptops (which I hate). Also have Galaxy Tab 3.1 tablet, Nexus 7 half-size tablet both running on Android, and both of which I really like. You really seem to know the current IT environment, what are your thoughts on the Microsoft Pro 2 or 3 as a laptop replacement/single machine, and where's best place to buy? I recall you posting something a while ago on some great deal, but can't find it...
Thanks BB!
