Microsoft's 'mathematically incorrect ad' shows Surface 2 can't calculate vacation budget!

In an embarrassing ‘hi-tech device gone mathematically incorrect situation’, Microsoft’s new Surface 2 billboard shows a miscalculated budget plan for a Hawaii vacation, even after the use of Excel.

The various numbers for the vacation were run through Surface 2’s Excel for addition, which produced an incorrect answer.

According to Cnet, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of communication, Frank Shaw had once remarked that Apple’s latest iWork and iLife aren’t precise and it is difficult to work on them compared to a desktop that offers true side-by-side multitasking.

However, the software giant’s own device seems to indicate through the ad that precision output on the Surface 2 may not be too precise.
