I use Kaspersky Internet Security, never use Defender. I found out the file defaultpack.exe is a legitimate file, digitally signed by Microsoft that sets homepage to msn.com and installs Bing. It still seems very odd that Microsoft would require to run this file to set the homepage. I'm hoping...

I didn't think so either - did not run it. I'll ask some of my security researcher friends to check.

I have my msn set as homepage and noticed the content hasn't been changed for several days now. So I checked out the new MSN page and was going to set as homepage, but I have to run an executable to do that? My first reaction was WTF!?? Is there a reason for this? Can anyone explain? Thanks.

Very romantic, congratulations !!!

Welcome! Glad you're loving your SP3!

Congratulations and welcome! I meet with doctors in my job. One doc saw me using my SP Pro, asked a few questions about it. The next time I met with him he proudly walked in with a new SP Pro, happy as a clam with it . He takes it in the rooms when seeing patients, enters his notes in the EMR...

I wouldn't do it either. Another risk of using cheap cards from unknown sources is malware.

I had forgotten about sandboxie. I used it a few years ago then got VMware. Are there any issues with sandboxie on Win 8.1? Sorry, slightly OT, but had to ask. :D

I can relate. I can easily spend hundreds for a shiny new tech toy like the SP3, but I have a hard time bringing myself to spend hundreds on clothes, handbags, shoes, even household items like new furniture and appliances. $1200 for SP3, keyboard and cover seems like less money than say, $1200...

Congratulations, I think you'll love it!

I looked for it too, but I think it's been removed. The battery life on SP3 is much better than my SP1, so I'm happy anyway. Welcome to the forum.

Haha, I think you might be right about the Hello Kitty thing.

I noticed there aren't many ladies on this forum, but that's true of most tech forums. I love both my PR3's and I don't like Apple products or iOS. I like this forum because I've learned a lot here and it's more tech than social. I don't know anyone else in real life with a Surface except the...

Nice post. I wanted a tablet that I could write on since I saw a guy with one like in your picture years ago. I never got one until I got the SP1 and now the SP3. I love it!!!!

About the Snipping Tool, thanks for the link. It works great in desktop mode, I couldn't get it to work im in Metro IE. Maybe I'm missing something ?

Definitely MUI IE on SP3. Works great and is easier on my eyes. On my desktop I use current IE. I won't use Chrome and just never liked Firefox or other browsers much. IE just works and my company online apps only work in IE.

I just did this for then first time and it makes a huge difference.

I have the cyan. Cyan is my favorite color now!

I just ordered that HP Mini Messenger bag. I just wish it came in other colors besides black.

I love my SP3 and have no complaints about it. It's definitely increased my work productivity and organization. When I'm going out to meet with clients I save screen clippings to One Note of what I'm going to be discussing. During the meeting I can make changes and notes. When I get back to...
