Surface Pro Sold Out; Was It Just Understocked?

TechCrunch is one of the many outlets to report that Microsoft's Surface Pro tablet computer sold out on its first day of wide availability. Business Insider points to Reddit threads complaining that "selling out" was largely a product of not having all that many in stock to begin with, in some cases not even enough to cover pre-ordered devices.

Everyone else just put theirs in their pockets. You should try that next time.

I want this thing running linux before the month is out.

"Linux Mint on the Surface Pro. WiFi and touch don't work out of the box, but pen and Type Cover work great. "

WiFi and touch don't work? If they get the graphics card and printer not to work, this thing will be as good as my Linux desktop!
