Mike Krahulik has been a fan of Surface Pro from the beginning,[1] has been very vocal about what he likes and dislikes, and has a very large audience.[2] It seems likely they were counting on him blogging his experiences as soon as possible after his last Surface Pro post,[3] which had some fairly negative points that made using the new Surface Pro difficult (if not impossible) for him.

- Einstalbert 12y agoMicrosoft keeping Gabe happy with the surface line is probably one of their top 5 PR priorities for the devices. I am not surprised by this post in the least, but I am glad that Gabe is going to get something he can use for his work.
- mahyarm 12y agoGabe being in Seattle also makes it pretty easy to interact with him.
- jeffcox 12y agoGabe is just the character that initially represented Mike Krahulik, the artist of PA and the person writing those posts.
- itafroma 12y agoWhoops: fixed, thanks.
