And so it begins. If MS is admitting "modest" sales, they must really suck. The 
full function Surface is allegedly going to be an attempt to create yet another 
product category- a half tablet, half ultralight laptop. I think it's going to 
be too expensive to be an iPad competitor. 

, Ballmer says Microsoft Surface RT sales off to 'modest' start


Microsoft's been holding Surface for Windows RT sales figures close to its 
chest so far, but CEO Steve Ballmer has allowed in an interview with Le 
Parisien that the much ballyhooed tablet is off to a "modest" start. The 
bombastic exec gave that appraisal while touting the imminent arrival of the 
tab's higher-powered sibling, Surface for Windows 8 Pro, though he didn't 
elaborate further. After all the cake it's no doubt lavished marketing the 
slate, we'll have to see if the software giant finds the hardware game tough to 
swallow.
