Re: More Microsoft marketing lies...so silly.

The fact that MS won't release the Surface book on the RH side of the pond for months after the US shows that if they are to be really serious players in this market (selling Top priced Kit) then they really do need to get their distribution systems sorted out.

When apple launch a new iPad/Macbook it is released in number of different countries at the same time of with a week or so. Granted things like the appleWatch took longer but once a product has been sold in a market then later versions generally get launched there very close to the US launch. This is primarily to stop the scalpers who buy up the US Stock and ship them to parts of the world that are not seeing a launch(as happened with the Apple Watch & China)

The Surface product line is not new. Surely they should have some decent distribution channels in place already (or are they relying on a chinese junk to ship them here?)

Is this the Kin thing all over again?

So what is the real reason why us here in Blighty can't get our hands on a Surface book for another three months?
