] Surface RT has only been on the market for 3 months. I am not aware that msft has released any actual sales #'s. Rumours are that its below "projections" and analysts are predicting/estimating around 1 M units on expectations of 2m units. Compare that to ipad sale numbers in the same quarter and its an abysmal failure!. Compare it to how many tablets msft sold in the quarter before(0) and (1 million units @ $500 each) looks pretty darn good.&nbsp;
