Microsoft Only Sold $853 Million in Surface Tablets Last Fiscal Year - John Paczkowski - News - AllThingsD

A stark Surface snapshot

"That’s a particularly sad showing for the tablet, given the blustering smack-talk with which Microsoft launched the device. As CEO Steve Ballmer said last October, “I don’t think anybody has done a product that is the product that I see customers wanting. Not Apple. Not Google. Not Amazon. Nobody has a product that lets you work and play that can be your tablet and your PC. Not at any price point. This is a first-class tablet that people can enjoy and appreciate. It’s a PC; it’s a tablet. It’s for play; it’s for work. It’s got a great price. That product doesn’t exist today.”
Evidently that product still doesn’t exist today — at least not as developed and marketed by Microsoft."
