With the release of Surface, Microsoft is taking a serious dive into the wide world of hardware production. But this isn't the first time Microsoft has gone down that road. In fact, Redmond has racked up a pretty impressive catalogue of devices. Here's a list of all of them.
[Editor's note. You might notice this list is paginated; we're really sorry about that. We hate pagination too. Truth is, Microsoft has actually made a lot of products! So many, in fact, that the code required to corral them into a single page bumped up against our CMS's character limit. So please pardon our pages. And if you'd like to comment about how we're fanboys before even reading the post, you can just click here to jump right to the end.]
