Almost after a month since Microsoft launched the Surface (with Windows RT), the company has released the pricing structure for the upcoming Surface Pro that will run Windows 8 Pro (full version of Windows). The Surface Pro will be able to run any standard Windows-based application.
Microsoft confirmed today that the company sold over 40 million Windows 8 licenses in just a month. Just to compare…it sold 60 million Windows 7 licenses within first 2 months of its launch. So it does look like that in spite of mixed reviews, Windows 8 is doing quite well!

We are fast approaching the much awaited Windows 8 launch date. Microsoft has finally started sending out the invites to the event, to be held in NYC on October 25th.
