Default Where are you, preorder?!

When is the Surface gonna be available to get preordered in the US? It can't be much longer since the RT version is coming out in two months. Google and Android OEM's let their consumers preorder their tabs many months before release. COME ON, MICROSOFT!

Yeah it will, but it'll probably be significantly more expensive than RT as well.

Exactly. But when is the preorder? My guess is that they will put them up for preorder as soon as they get the price figured out. God knows how long that will take lol.

I contact Microsoft Germany when we can preorder / get a sample ... last week and they have absolutely no idea when / if it will be launched here. Seems there is still no clear strategy about the product rollout.

I'm with you. Have two very beastly desktops and this will just compliment them. It's nice to have Office already included if I need to type up a few things using my keyboard/cover. lol

Yea, I'll probably go with RT as well. Getting pretty impatient though.

I doubt they will do pre order, but I could be wrong.

However Microsoft has another Launch Event on Oct.25/12.

The day before Windows 8 will go on sale, and I will bet all info for RT will be made clear.

That on Oct 26/12 RT will sell at retail stores and the Microsoft Store....with 32 stores set to open that day.
New Stores set to Open

I'll be in line (the night before)!!!!! A friend of mine has also said he wants to go see what will launch.
