WSJ today reported that Microsoft is planning to sell 3-5 Million Surface Tablets this quarter alone. According to component suppliers in Asia with whom WSJ spoke with,  Microsoft has placed orders to produce 3 million to 5 million of these tablets in the fourth quarter. This number looks equal to what Amazon and Google placed orders for Kindle and Nexus.

Can Microsoft beat their expectations?

    they say 3-5 Million. but as much as i’ve seen so far, there simply is no other device on the market that Comes Close to what the surface can offer… best tablet ever! so i suppose the’ll sell much much more…
    but please come to europe soon!

    All I need to know is if it is possible to install other editions of Windows 8 on the WinRT. If I can install Windows 8 Pro, etc and the hardware drivers, I will be the happiest dude.

      I don’t think that’s possible, I believe RT is ARM based, Pro is x86 based. Please, someone correct me if I’m wrong.

    You mean they ‘HOPE’ to ship 3-5 million — well good luck with that. I am going for ipad 3. I don’t think surface deserves the current pricing.
