My experience with the first Surface was enough to make me swear off ever buying another Microsoft product.

Its hard to believe in this modern day & age that the old mantra that used to apply to cars could be tranferrable to electronics i.e. “Monday Morning and a Friday afternoon car” Seems wherever in the PRC these things are now being made could be a good deal of “Tsingtao” being consumed lol 🙂

We tried 10 – 15 Surface 3 Pro devices in the enterprise 2 years ago, and ran into the same problem. The firmware and drivers weren’t done when the devices shipped.

Maybe Microsoft should spend less time planting articles about how the next Surface will be the best computer ever and focus on having the product ready to use when it ships.
