Panos Panay gives the Verge a great interview about the second generation Surfaces

The good folks at The Verge (Tom Warren) got a chance to sit down with Microsoft’s Panos Panay, the man in charge of the company’s Surface efforts, to talk about the new devices and the Surface’s future.

It’s a pretty good interview because he’s pretty candid about the new devices and the limitations they had the last time around.

That was the interesting piece of it to me – he said they had to develop the first generation of these devices in isolation because of all the secrecy that it was harder to get wide feedback on the devices.

They had no such constraints this time around.

Check it out above – it’s a good interview.
