At PDC we announced special pricing for Microsoft Surface. We've now extended that pricing through the end of November. It's a great discount for those developers who got their hands on the SDK at PDC and are now looking to run those applications on the full hardware. See the US order form or go to Surface.com for more information about the product.
[UPDATE: Discount pricing is now closed. Units are still available for purchase at standard pricing via the links above.]
Is there any plans in the near future to make this purchase (or any) open to individuals...

We do not have any plans to announce at this time. Currently, we are focused on deployment to commercial developers.
