Microsoft is shutting down the Surface Support Twitter account, giving followers a quick notice before they stopped supporting the page. This decision seems to primarily be part of Microsoft’s overall branding effort with their support pages, which they’re trying to consolidate into the MicrosoftHelps Twitter.

The Surface Support Twitter will continue to run for another 6 days, although it’s unclear if any real activity will occur during that time. At the end of the 6 days, it’s likely that the page will close altogether, although it may just stop posting.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
