Microsoft is purposefully only selling the Surface in their own sales channels - own stores and online - explicitly so others can't report data about how it's doing.

Microsoft is a biggest company in usa. Microsoft have many product in online. so their have many marketing channels. Microsoft's new Surface tablet problem will solve.
