Better later than never

Better later than never. When the Surface RT was released in October 2012, many of us including me, pointed to Microsoft that the price for the 32GB version should have been between $350-$400. But somebody came out at Microsoft with the idea that a low price could send a wrong message about low quality and the Surface was top of the line in quality. Well, we were right. A product with 4.8 stars out of 5 in many stores could have done better in sales if the Software Company had listened to those with experience in this potion of the hardware market. Of course, things are not that simple, a low price could have killed the rest of MS’s partners with plans to make WinTables, but the reality was that they did not jump into that boat like we were expecting so now that this is clear so this move makes a lot of sense.

Another nice move was to let well known resellers to sale the Surface.
