Lets see, that totals at least 160 million in free gear.

Yeah I don’t see the connection…

That way they can put it on ebay for me to buy

I have always been a Microsoft buff, but really?
They look like a small childs toy or something, I don’t like the styling at all.
I also can’t stand Windows 8, why not make the OS dynamic??
Meaning it has a nice touch UI as a tablet then you dock it or flick a switch and go into the beautiful desktop UI everyone knows and loves in Windows 7 possibly with some minor tweaks??
That would be innovation NOT crippling the desktop UI!

This is just free advertising and QA. The employees are probably under contract to not sell the devices and to submit bug reports.
