If you read the news Microsoft's own stores are out of stock too. Your post seems to disregard what's going on in this market and blames Dell.
Let's go with that. Show Dell forget about using parts they don't make?

Ordered a Venue Pro 11 on 11/23. Dell promised a delivery date of 01/07/14. It was too long yet I waited. Then on 01/06, they updated the delivery date to 01/14/14. Then on 01/11/14 they updated to 01/21. Still not sure they can deliver the item. Called customer support who told me that one of the parts is not available. Then they transferred me to another customer support expert who asked me why did I wait so long? Why didn't I call to modify the order so that won't have to wait for the part. Then I was transferred to another "specialist" who looked into it and then came back to tell me that " yes, your order has been delayed. We are sorry." All I get from the phone call is a bunch of different accents, no answer. If this is their service, who cares for their product. There is a bunch of windows tablets out their.
