Windows Boss Steven Sinofsky Makes Skateboard Out Of Surface

Steven Sinofsky, Microsoft’s Windows division chief, wants to prove to you that the Microsoft Surface tablet isn’t flimsy.

In fact, it’s strong enough to carry him à la skateboard.

Sinofsky tweeted a photo of him riding the Microsoft Surface like a skateboard and then another photo showing the tablet made it.

“Couldn’t resist taking it out for a spin… #surface,” Sinofsky said in one tweet.

“detail view #surface,” he said in another.

The tweets came as the Surface with Windows RT was made available for pre-order by Microsoft.

According to reports, the stunt was done by the Windows division chief inside the lobby of Studio B where Microsoft’s Surface team resides on the Microsoft Campus.

Less than 24 hours after being put up for pre-order, Microsoft appears to have sold out its first batch of the base model of the tablet which costs $499.

The Surface with Windows RT is constructed using a VaporMg chassis and its screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2.
