After an unusually rough January, Microsoft is back today with another round of Surface firmware updates timed to Patch Tuesday. And this month, the firm is offering updates for Surface 2, Surface Pro and Surface Pro 2, but not the original Surface RT.
You can read all about the silliness from last month in Microsoft Surface Firmware Updates for January 2014 (the original update), Surface Firmware Update Fracas (the fallout) and Microsoft Surface Firmware Updates for January 2014 (Take Two).
But I'm not one to hold a grudge. What's on tap this month?
