Related: do we get any corporate discount online at the MS store, aside from MS office on DL net?

What a debacle... now the price of the Surface2 is slashed another $100. Get 'em cheap everybody! Nobody really wants this piece of junk except the experts at Delta IT.

Seems Microsoft is trying to dump the Surface2 as fast as possible, and we are one of the dumpees.

Windows RT is EOL, by the time we get our tablets, they will need replacing. Silly.

Reminds me of the Tahoe project. How much more useable functionality will it have over the Ipad?

I think I read one from Captain Happy. Some really interesting remarks from some guys. I'm sure some of those violate the social media policy :eek:

So if we are not getting the Surface then why did I just sit through a demo on how to use it in the crew room? They sure sound like it's what we are getting.

Because they bribe idiot keynesian western nations with their own money. Works great in the EU, why not here?

How many gig is your Surface Pro 2 Bar?

Just 64; like me, it has a small memory. :o

But, unless you store a lot of movies in it ... and you could always add a Micro USB card, networked drive, or USB drive.
