Need another reason to pick up Microsoft's latest iteration of the Surface tablet, the Surface 2? How's 200GB of free SkyDrive storage for the first two years, plus what Microsoft's calling "the best of Skype" (free international calling and WiFi hotspot access) for the first year? Because that's exactly what you'll get when you plunk down the $450 for the new Windows RT 8.1 tablet later this year.
Both of Microsoft's services -- SkyDrive for cloud file saving and Skype for online phone / text / video chat -- are part of the purchase price apparently, though that comes with a limited time plan. But is it enough to entice consumers who were already burned once by the Surface RT (the tablet that Surface 2 succeeds)? That's a question that only time can answer, but we sure don't mind the bonus stuff!
