Surface Pro Price Cuts Now Permanent

This is somewhat expected, but Microsoft has announced that the Surface Pro $100 price cut for the month of August has been extended indefinitely, i.e., permanently. I announced the price drop in Surface Pro Gets a Price Cut for the Next Month and then subsequently announced that the Microsoft Touch Cover is getting a price reduction starting on August 30th.

Microsoft credits success from the price decreases as the reason for making the offer permanent. Microsoft says:

There's no word of any price reductions on the Type Cover, though.  The Type Cover, in my opinion, is what turns the Surface Pro into a true laptop replacement. In How to Make the Surface Pro v2 a Success, I talk to this point.
