Microsoft Surface Pro 3 coming next week?

Microsoft may have inadvertently leaked that the Surface Pro 3 tablet is coming next week, a lot earlier than expected.
The company is holding a press event next week in which it is expected to launch the 8-inch Surface Mini but they could have some more surprises in store.

On one of their support pages, Microsoft notes that Windows 8.1 "adds support to the Surface Pro 3 camera." The Surface Pro 3 has been rumored in the past with a number of outlets guaranteeing a new 'Intel-based Surface' will be unveiled at the May 20th event.

The new device is rumored to have the latest Haswell processor for the best power optimization.

SAD!

They're doing what Apple does.......mindlessly and irresponsibly outdating their own products.

Surface Pro 2 just came out last year and it barely sold.......what makes MS think that they 3 will sell.

Though I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Windows 8 is the shittiest of the shittyness, doesn't work for almost every program out there. total absolute shit. And yet I too am somehow eager to get their next super shitty product, maybe a smaller form factor unit, one that I can use while on the shitter. Oh come on, you had to expect that, lol.

What programs are you having trouble with? So far I've been able to install just about everything I had installed on Windows 7. The app store needs some work but that takes time.
