Some Microsoft Surface Pro 2 users report a firmware fix rolling out
Microsoft seemingly has begun rolling out at least part of an awaited firmware update for its second-generation Surface Pro 2 tablets, according to user reports on Twitter and in various online forums.
However, the firmware update may be one of multiple updates or a partial update only, said sources close to the company.
The firmware update some report they are seeing -- designed to fix problems introduced by a faulty December 2013 update to Microsoft's newest Intel-based tablets -- seemingly is arriving in waves. Surface Pro 2 users in several countries across the world were reporting that they received an update starting the evening of January 17; others said an update arrived for download on their Surface Pro 2s on January 18.
