- You'll never get an official source but talking to a person I know who works at Microsoft store, says the number of people returning their surface is almost 1/4 of how many have bought. Going into the San Jose store, there's always a line of customers returning their Surface.
Google doc's will suffice for 99.9% of all students. Quick Office or even some of the iWork's app's is an adequate substitute for people being productive on the iPad.11-06-2012 04:49 PMLike 0 - You'll never get an official source but talking to a person I know who works at Microsoft store, says the number of people returning their surface is almost 1/4 of how many have bought.

I just had someone ask me at a Starbucks about formatting his resume on his ipad and I really tried to help him. Anyone who does serious document work appreciates Word, no matter what version it is since the shortcuts and general format is the same. In the Legal field MSWord is pretty invaluable. There was wordperfect but that kind of petered out.11-06-2012 06:15 PMLike 0

- Picked one up last night at the St. Louis galleria. I was waiting for the Pro, but after spending a good deal of time playing with the display models* my wife mentioned she'd like one, so I got to buy an RT now, and when the Pro comes out, give it to her and I get the pro.
*during which time several people bought one, and I didn't see a single return
There's one guy left at my firm that still uses Wordperfect.11-06-2012 08:14 PMLike 0 - And it's not just Word. It's comical sometimes the way a Google presentation formats some of my PowerPoint presentations. And the other intangibles like you mentioned; shortcuts for example, just can't be duplicated. Google Docs is useful for quick and dirty work, but for any kind of serious word processing it's really hard to beat Word.11-07-2012 01:41 AMLike 0

Anyway, back to the original topic - shifting them from stores to the fulfillment center wouldn't do anyone any favors and there are very good reasons why they are no longer allowing pre-orders of [temporarily] out of stock models. As for there being a high return-rate, this is the first I've heard of this, could you please provide me with the details of store in question so I can look into this?11-07-2012 05:11 AMLike 0 - What @emigrating said above this post. I'm not going to run down a list of features that Word has the GDocs does not. I'm not saying GDocs is a bad tool, but it's simply not a replacement for MS Word. And they are not trying to be a replacement, just an alternative when you need to do some basic editing.11-07-2012 09:45 AMLike 0
- Has anyone ordered a surface that isn't out of stock? If so how long did it take to ship? Im a very impatient person :)11-07-2012 09:51 AMLike 0
- Has your credit card been charged? Normally they won't charge it until it ships. Also, some members here reported that even after their Surface got delivered, their order status still said Processing.11-07-2012 10:11 AMLike 0
- The funds have been reserved but no actual charge has taken place. I'll keep an eye on the money then, thanks ;)11-07-2012 10:20 AMLike 0
