  Microsoft doesn’t make fingerprint readers.

    Yea, but they sourced the parts from a vendor, and still didn’t make sure the vendor was properly following the spec.

    Just goes to show how complicated it can be!

      Not sure why you being downvoted, one of the three laptops they cracked was a Surface. Of course Microsoft doesn’t “make it” but very few tech brands actually manufacture the hardware. By the way the Surface was sufficiently different in its design from the others that hints it’s a custom build anyway, not just an off label hardware with Microsoft stamped on it.

    Microsoft has marketed surface pro type covers with a fingerprint reader. I use one at work.

    Sounds like Microsoft doesn’t make anything
