Microsoft Is Conservative on Surface 2

(12/18/2013) Once burnt, twice shy. Microsoft's revenge product -- Surface 1st generation -- costed $900 million USD charge due to product glitches and overstock. This time, Microsoft's Surface 2 is sold out in many retail stores. The reason it is sold out is because Microsoft is conservative with its production and inventory. Surface 2 received positive reviews and the app crashing and dropped Wi-Fi issues have been improved. With conservative production forecasts, at least Microsoft does not have to be forced to write off inventories or has huge price-cut.
