Reports began circulating yesterday that Microsoft intended to launch a recall of Surface Pro power cords due to concerns about overheating. The rumor suggested that Microsoft would unveil the details of the program on Friday morning, but Microsoft beat that estimate by a day and announced the official recall program this morning.
