Great article on Wired today

[Clovismod]

To sum up:

- interesting bits about the creation process of the Surface book
- the Surface mini was real...
- there's certainly a surface phone project ( "A few machines away, another machine works on a prototype of a new phone")
- Surface book is selling faster than Ms can make them.

Surface book is selling faster than Ms can make them.

That doesn't really tell us anything. If all they have is two old Chinese women working the Surface Book assembly line they may need to add another one to increase production by 50% or two would double it.

yes, it's a good article.

Without hard numbers, that doesn't mean squat. As far we know, they've made 100 and sold 100. With all the issue we've seen, 50 have been returned.

Sales vs returns is a number I don't expect MS to share with the world.
