David BlumeI went to the Microsoft store in Valley Fair to check out the Surface. It was pretty intuitive to use, since I'd already read some reviews about it online. I knew to swipe in from the edges to see things happen.
I found the Reader app, and looked for a Welcome manual, and found one called "Meet the new Windows." I navigated to the first page, unpinched to watch the fonts scale way up, and moved around the page a bit. Then I pinched the page back down and noticed junk in the transparent section of the image of the screen. Every time I moved or scaled the image, the junk in the transparent section would change. It was fun, but it was definitely a bug. The welcome document was reading uninitialized memory. Whoops, not a good start.
I reproduced this on three or four Surfaces in the store. Here's a phone camera picture I took of it. #surfacetablet #surface #bug
