I’ll admit it. I had no idea that there was a launch party for the new Surface 2 tablet at several Microsoft stores, including one around the corner from me. Like many, I have no intention of buying one. Apparently, I’m not alone.

So it went ahead and decided to throw a simultaneous nationwide in-store launch event — as is now the fashion with high profile hardware launches these days.
