Just because it was on sale. The Surface Pro is really a $1029 device ($899 retail price + $129 type cover).

My point about sharing the sale price was at $499 how could I not love this gorgeous little device. And the answer was it did not work for the way I compute.

Since I consider the browser the real client of the future the IE share numbers were a contributor to my final decision to return vs keep.

I do realize when I share things though that I open things up for debate.
