Great -but a shame Enterprises can't buy it.
'Quote me for a Surface Pro' I say to my supplier. 'Sorry - not available to the channel - er I can buy one from John Lewis on company credit card and sell it on to you for a markup though..' comes the response.
Why on Gods green earth have Microsoft chosen to sell the majority of the new breeds of Windows 8 Pro tablets and ultrabooks via retail only? Im an IT Manager and I don't have access to a company credit card (nor do I want one).
I want to buy 10 Surface Pro's but I cant. So I've had to buy Vaio Duos, Lenovo Twists and a Samsung Aativ as these were (just about) available in the channel.
Don't come around here whining about your non-sales Microsoft, as you're effectively flogging your new devices out of the back of a van, whereas I shop at Makro.
