I went to my localk Microsoft Store at lunch today based on the rumors of reservation passes. The first person I talked to had no idea. I then talked to someone who knew what was going on. I had to ask the right questions and act like I was really interested in reserving a Surface RT before she admitted that the passes really did exist. She went to tha back and got one. It turns out that what she got for me had been returned by someone that was going to be out of town on the 26th, so I got pass number 001. They are only going to have 100 of these per store. She said don't come in and expect to walk up, pay for it and leave. THey want to make sure people get the best experience with these new devices. They are going to go through the unboxing and setup with the customer to make sure everything is working and the customer know how to use the Surface and is happy before they leave the store. I am super geeked for this. I can hardly wait for next Friday to get here.
