I went to the Microsoft store in Times Square this morning and it was packed. I could barely walk! It's been packed since the store opened at 12 midnight. These things are seriously selling like hotcakes (at least here in NYC).

Here is a link to some of last nights mayhem:

That could be viral marketers who get it for free in exchange for lining up in a midnight que though.

This level of denial is astounding.

 

Here is an interesting quote from another Verge artice:

"I spoke to one couple who remarked that they had held back on a tablet purchase due to a lack of Office. I thought nothing of it until I started speaking to more people. Perhaps surprisingly, Office was a big factor for people's interest in Surface with some mentioning that they couldn't live without it for work."
