Surface RT usage skyrockets after steep price cuts Aug 26th 2013, 14:04, by Brad Chacos It looks like you can stimulate demand for the Surface RT—if you give them away for practically nothing.

The Surface Pro also got in on the growth spurt, jumping from the 23rd most-used Windows 8 device in April to the seventh most-used in August.
