    Boot... spinner... blank screen

    Anyone else now have what amounts to a dead Surface Pro (gen 1)? I boot, see the spinner, and a few seconds later the screen goes black and is unresponsive (still on, but all black image).

    What's in store for Windows Store?

    I've got a $100 credit for the Store that expires in June. I cashed in my Bing rewards points thinking I could use them to pay for my Office 365 subscription. Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be possible. Sometimes I look through the Windows/Microsoft Store and see what I might possibly buy...
