Microsoft giving employees free Surface RT tablets, Windows Phone 8 devices, and new work PCs

Joe Fedewa is 23 years old and lives near Lansing, Michigan. He's been interested in technology ever since he got his first flip phone. Since then he's evolved from flip phones to smartphones, and become even more interested in everything from cord cutting to web browsers. Joe is also an avid sports fan and sci-fi movie geek. He's a Joe of all trades.

And you get a Surface! And you get a Surface! And you get a Surface!

In an annual company meeting this week CEO Steve Ballmer did his best Oprah impression and announced that over 90,000 employees will recieve free Surface RT tablets, Windows Phone 8 devices, and a new Windows 8 work PC. In other news, job applications have been pouring in ever since.

The Windows 8 work PCs are reportedly being distributed already. Surface and phones will start coming in the next few weeks. You, on the other hand, will have to wait until late October for these products. This is actually a common practice in Microsoft. It shows just how much they believe in these products.
