Microsoft wants thousands of new distributors to sell Surface products

http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-wants-thousands-of-new-distributors-to-sell-surface-products

Microsoft’s Surface tablets have had a mixed reception over the last few years, though its latest model, the Surface Pro 3 has gotten pretty great reviews across the board. Unfortunately, both the tablet and its accessories can be hard to purchase due to limited distribution.

But Microsoft has just announced that it’s fixing that by allowing thousands of new resellers and partners to distribute the Surface Pro 3 and Surface 3, as well other upcoming devices – good news for those waiting on the Surface Pro 4.

According to the company, the number of Surface distributors will get a significant bump going from “a couple hundred” to “a few thousands” authorized resellers.

Surface Announces New Plans to Expand Business Channel
http://blog.surface.com/2015/07/surface-channel-expansion/


Businesses are rapidly adopting Surface Pro 3 and we’re seeing great interest and momentum with Surface 3 and Surface Hub. We see this recognition of the unique combination of productivity and style across industries including healthcare businesses, banks and financial companies, retailers, airlines, manufacturers, schools, governments and more. Windows 10 will only increase this momentum.

We’ve had a somewhat limited business channel for Surface and we’ve heard from a lot of customers that they’d like to see more partners offering Surface. So we’re taking our next big step to serving our business customers.

Surface Channel Expansion

We are expanding our channel and will go from having a few hundred partners selling and servicing Surface to a few thousand globally in the coming months.

So if you’re a reseller or systems integrator with strong hardware capabilities, we’re looking forward to welcoming you and we’re excited to see how Surface’s presence in the commercial space will continue to grow – with your help.

Interested partners should go to the Microsoft Partner Network Device Partner Portal and contact an Authorized Device Distributor to learn how to become a partner.

This expansion of our partnerships is directly related to our optimism for much broader success that will come with the release of Windows 10.

Microsoft Surface Revenue Increased 117% To $888 Million
http://microsoft-news.com/microsoft-surface-revenue-increased-117-to-888-million/

Microsoft Surface was considered a flop after the first version of it failed in the market. Even after billion dollar write-off, Microsoft continued to pursue their goal with Surface business. Today, they reported their Q4 FY15 results and Surface revenue increased 117% to $888 million, driven by Surface Pro 3 and Surface 3 units sold. Yes, it is nearly a $3 billion dollar business for Microsoft and it is profitable too. Gross margin increased $417 million, and benefitted from the mix shift to Surface Pro 3 and Surface 3.

Surface 3: My best purchase of 2015 (hands on)

The newest Surface tablet from Microsoft is the best 2-in-1 I've used

http://www.zdnet.com/article/surface-3-my-best-purchase-of-2015-hands-on/

Bottom line

The Surface 3 with the Type Cover is a world class laptop and stellar tablet. It can easily replace a laptop with few, if any, compromises. It is a tremendous value for the relatively low base price. This is the best purchase I've made this year

Microsoft Surface 3 Review: Over 3 Months Later and Windows 10!





Windows 10: Pushing my MacBook and iPad aside
The versatility of Windows 10 is gradually pushing my MacBook Air and iPad Air 2 to the side. This was unexpected and a testament to how good Windows 10 has become in such a short time.

http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-and-surface-3-are-pushing-my-macbook-and-ipad-aside/

I bought the Surface 3 primarily because it shipped with Windows 10. I wanted to get serious hands-on time with the latest version of Windows and the hardware of the Surface 3 seemed to be a good way to do that. A long-time MacBook user, what I didn't expect to happen was Windows 10 pushing the MacBook aside.

I now use the Surface 3 every day, and while I haven't retired the iPad or the MacBook Air I find I don't miss them when using Microsoft's device. I've given a lot of thought as to why that is, and it comes down to the versatility of Windows 10.

Η unlocked LTE version του Surface 3 θα καθυστερήσει να εμφανιστεί στην Ευρώπη και πάει για αρχές Οκτωβρίου σύμφωνα με τις νεότερες πληροφορίες από MS.

Microsoft confirms delay to launch of unlocked Surface 3 4G LTE
http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-confirms-delay-to-launch-of-unlocked-surface-3-4g-lte

In an update on its Surface Blog, Microsoft announced revised launch dates for the Surface 3 (4G LTE). Pre-orders will open in the US on September 3, and in Canada on September 10, ahead of release in both countries on September 19.

In France, Germany and the UK, it seems pre-orders won't be available at all - but the device will go on sale in those markets on October 2.

Re: Απάντηση: Microsoft Surface 3 [2015]

Εχει παρατηρησει κανεις ταχεια υπερθερμανση στο SP3 μετα την εγκατασταση των Windows 10;

Δεν τα εχω περάσει σε μόνιμη βάση αλλα ενα 10ημερο που τα είχα ως dual boot δεν παρατήρησα τέτοιο θέμα με την δικιά μου συνήθη χρήση.
Για καλύτερα αποτελέσματα προτιμότερο να κανεις καθαρή εγκατάσταση μέσα απο update and recovery menu και επιλέγοντας remove everything and reinstall Windows και θα ειναι σαν να έκανες clean install.

Επίσης στο εξωτερικό αναφερθηκε ότι η MS ανέβασε σε ISO και την 10αρα έκδοση για τα Surface,δεν το εχω ελέγξει προσωπικά για να σου πω με σιγουριά.
Δες το εσυ αν θες να τα περάσεις και ετσι τα Windows.

Η αλλιώς κατεβάζεις το official ISO των 10 και κανεις εγκατάσταση.

Ένω είχα απενεργοποιήσει το upgrade ξεθαβοντας τις ρυθμίσεις, φαίνεται κάποιο update μπήκε και άρχισε η αυτόματη εγκατάσταση... Ευτυχώς οι περισσότερες εφαρμογές εξακολουθούν να λειτουργούν κανονικά και στα 10, απλά ήθελε περίοδο προσαρμογής αφού σε αρκετά πράγματα δίνουν λιγότερες δυνατότητες παραμετροποίησης.
Φυσικά μέτα έκανα και ένα disk cleanup και αδειασαν 25GB του windows old folder.

SkyWest chooses the Surface 3 over iPad for 7,500 pilots
http://microsoft-news.com/skywest-chooses-the-surface-3-over-ipad-for-7500-pilots/


Microsoft’s Surface tablets have been focused on productivity for a while now. Businesses love the Surface devices, especially the Surface Pro 3 and the newer Surface 3. SkyWest is soon going to deploy 7,500 Surface 3 devices for its pilots. Microsoft states:

“SkyWest, Inc. is deploying Surface 3 to replace heavy paper-based flight kits containing navigational charts, and aircraft operating and reference manuals. SkyWest, Inc. committed to standardizing their Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) for ExpressJet and SkyWest pilots on Surface 3. At only 1.3lbs, Surface 3 can distill a heavy flight bag into a portable, powerful device while offering simplified management and security via Intune.”
Microsoft also revealed that the Surface 3 is now pre-qualified for FAA authorization:

“Surface is committed to the commercial aviation industry and we are continuing efforts to make it easier for commercial airlines to adopt Surface tablets. We’re happy to announce today that Surface 3 has been pre-qualified for airlines to seek authorization from both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for use as an EFB during all phases of flight. Through a rigorous evaluation process, Surface 3 has completed environmental and situational testing. Now, when airlines look to select the feature-rich Surface 3 for their EFB initiatives, deployment timelines will be significantly decreased, and the device itself may be used to its full computing potential, versus serving just as a simple document reader.”
