Microsoft suffers another temporary Surface Pro shortage |
February 23, 2013
Less than a week after Microsoft began taking reservation orders for its 128GB Surface Pro tablet, the company on Thursday again slapped a sold-out sign on its website.
Thursday afternoon, Microsoft's online store displayed "Out of stock" and refused to accept orders for that configuration. The message remained in place Friday. On Saturday, the website said you can order now for shipment by March 1.

That's exactly what it did.
