In December, Microsoft released a horribly tested problem causing patch that was quickly withdrawn. Now they have released an updated patch which Microsoft assures fixes the biggest Surface Pro complaints such as battery life and a randomly waking up device.
It doesn't fix all the issues but it is a step in the right direction.
Just head over to your software update applet and enjoy some free device improvement now.

In an attempt to copy the Apple model of incredible sales, Microsoft will be expanding its Microsoft Store inside BestBuys by bringing this model to the great Canadian North. Over 100 of these new stores-inside-a-store will pop up across Canada in Best Buy and Futureshops.
These stores will be staffed with specially trained sales and technical specialists to convince you that everyone should own a Surface tablet and should be running Windows 8.1.
Microsoft Surface 2 Family
Yesterday was a busy tech announcement day and in all the hoopla, the availability of Microsoft Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 was lost.
If you are looking to overpay for a laptop that claims to be a tablet then you can now pick on up at a Microsoft store or in participating Canadian retailers. Surface 2 (originally called Surface RT) is available for $449 and Surface Pro 2 sells for $899.
With steep price cuts and the upcoming release of Windows 8.1, it was widely expected that Microsoft would host some type of launch even in September for its next generation surface devices.
On September 23rd (in the big apple) we find out what updated devices Microsoft hopes to steal the 2013 holiday season with.
