>Microsoft pulls in an impressive $1.35B in revenue for Surface line

Really? Impressive for whom? 1.3B is less than what Apple made with the iWatch -- and that's after decades of MS losing money and trying to go somewhere with their table OS and then tablet offerings.

Wait, where did you get Apple Watch numbers? Apple hasn't released those.
"Though Apple won't share specific sales figures for its new Apple Watch, disclosures made by the company this week reveal that the wearable device reached more than $1.69 billion in sales by the end of September"

So that's 6 months of sales versus 3 months for the Surface, so not directly comparable.
