Head of Microsoft’s Windows division goes skateboarding…on a Surface tablet
Share:
That magnesium frame is certainly strong enough to put up with a fair amount of abuse. One would not think of it as a mode of transportation first though. Microsoft is certainly not going to start marketing this idea. Double-checking the pre-order site, there does not appear to be a skateboard accessory cover or wheel kit available. What this informal stunt does do however, is drive home the point that this tablet is built to handle whatever we throw at it.
We are not so sure an iPad, or any other tablet for that matter, would fare so well. Sinofsky put a couple pictures on his twitter feed to share the unscientific experiment. Now, we wonder if it will blend.

Include that surface skateboard in your ad and I'm sure that it will sell even more than what you expect

why in the world he is doing that? there are a lot of meaningful scientific ways to test the durability of the tablets, any how I am glad that he didn't ice skate on the Surface..

Next ad for Surface would be something like Car breaks down in middle of no where, guy (or how about if its a girl?) came out, whiping out his (imagin her) Surface, snap the wheels McGuyer style and there he (ok she) goes on his (her) way to date.
Not to mention if some physco appears, Surface going to bash his head out with no trouble - and on the way to - wherever.
