Well, if you're talking Surface RTs, their sales are awful. The first models resulted in a huge write off, I don't know what's happened since then, but overall market share for the Surface RT is minute. If you're talking about the Surface Pros, they're basically full-blown, touch-screen laptops with a removable keyboard. It's hard for me to think of them as tablets -- probably because all Microsoft's advertising touts the keyboard as the main selling point. I know one of the big problems, originally, was the difficulty in changing to portrait view. The apps weren't really written for that. I'm guessing that's changed by now. I don't really know.
At any rate, I guess we'll see how it goes. I, personally, have little interest in tablets, and zero interest in anything with Windows on it.
