Microsoft turns Surface tablet into a skateboard, Windows chief Steven Sinofsky takes it for a spin

Gorilla Glass 2 and a chassis forged from magnesium lend Microsoft’s Surface slates some durability, but the firm’s decided to prove just how tough its tablets are by turning one into a skateboard. The wheeled slice of Windows 8 is said to have been rolled out during a tour of Redmond’s Surface skunkworks, but Windows chief Steven Sinofksy couldn’t resist hopping on the board today and tweeting a pair of photos. You can pre-order your deck now, though something tells us this mod isn’t covered under Ballmer and Co.’s warranty.
