Microsoft’s getting quite good at design moonshots, creating product silhouettes that challenge our notions of what computing should look like. The large, yet astonishingly thin, Surface Studio is a perfect reflection of that still somewhat new skill.
As I looked over that all-in-one Windows 10 computer and a slightly updated Surface Book beside it in Microsoft’s pop-up product experience room adjacent to the hall where Microsoft Device lead Panos Panay had just introduced the new hardware, I realized I had myriad questions about both, but mostly about the Surface Studio.
I glanced away from the 28-inch glowing Studio display and spotted a familiar face. Ralf Groene, Microsoft’s head of industrial design, was standing alone, staring almost wistfully into space. The last time I’d seen Groene was almost a year ago and he was showing me two stuck-together pieces of black cardboard, the rough-hewn seedling for the product idea that would become the Surface Book.

Microsoft focused on the details for the new Surface Studio.

Microsoft typically releases new builds of Windows to its developers well before the rest of us can get our hands on it, and that RTM (released to manufacturing) version is usually the final code. Apparently this time, Microsoft is not sending out their final bits until a bit later.
I had heard months ago from my sources that Microsoft’s plan with Windows 8.1 was to shorten the usual gap between RTM and general availability. The thinking, supposedly, was to provide existing Windows 8.1 users with the final bits very shortly after they RTM’d — all part of Microsoft’s more rapid delivery cadence goal. Even if Microsoft waits until mid-October to release the Windows 8.1 RTM bits, the company still will have managed to deliver to customers a new release of Windows within almost exactly a year — instead of three years after the previous release, as was the length of time between the release of Windows 7 and Windows 8.
