Hi there
I think Ms marketing must be totally hosed up.
It's only on THIS (and W7) Forum(s) that I have heard that Surface Pro is (finally) due to ship on Feb 9th.
Considering this is intended to be an "Ipad Killer" I would have thought that we would be SATURATED with commercials about this device. A company with the clout of Ms could probably get some real good deals on TV commercial time at the moment
For example Andy Murray from GB is playing Tennis in the Australian open final on Sunday Morning (European Time) so loads of Brits will be watching this -- what a great opportunity for some commercials about the Surface pro.
I haven't seen ANY commercials at all in most of the popular papers in Germany, Holland, France, Belgium or the UK yet - and these countries BY FAR make up the biggest market for Technology in the whole of the EU.
I also haven't seen any TV commercials yet (In Brussels I get TV from all these countries via the cable network) .
I've seen some for Windows 8 phone and a few (not many) for Windows 8.
Go into a halfway decent technology store like MediaMarkt in Brussels or Antwerp where the staff are usually pretty good and they tend to have most recent stuff available (and NOT OUT OF STOCK like PC world / Curry's in the UK which invariably displays an item you want but it's always out of stock) and mention Surface Pro -- and the usual reaction is "What's that" -- most of the staff don't know Ms is even Making tablets.
Anyway Ms -- I think you need to issue your whole marketing dept with a truckload of "Pink Slips" / P45's or whatever the paperwork is for "On yer Bike and find another job".
What I've gleaned is that the device will be excellent (price though could be a problem) - but most people don't read or get their info from sites like this.
Cheers
