Lucky Surface RT buyers getting free Touch or Type Covers for a limited time

In a move that should have really happened sooner rather than later, Microsoft is giving buyers of their Surface RT ARM processor-powered tablet free Touch or Type Covers with their purchase. As reported by Cnet, US and Canadian Surface RT buyers who add the keyboards to their orders will not have to pay for them starting May 31. While they indicate a limited time offer, the promo could go on for around a month as per Microsoft's Surface blog. My advice, go for the Type Cover.

Here's Microsoft's bold new tablet called Surface. Running on ARM and Intel chips and sporting Windows 8. The new device brings some innovation to the tablet space (a kickstand) and borrows some popular touches (Magnetic cover, Gorilla Glass screen). This is the future of Microsoft's tablet strategy and Windows 8. This is also the fifth MS attempt at a tablet product after WindowsCE, TabletPC, PocketPC and UMPC tried to define the mobile space.
