    Free games: Limited time only

    Thanks for the heads up Arnold, I'm installing them as we speak.... Edit: It looks like Fragger has disappeared, it won't come up in the RT Store app.

    Word 2013 a complete disaster.

    On my screen all four of your screenshots look equally good. You must have something going on with your PC.

    Word 2013 a complete disaster.

    I've got the same document side-by-side, one in the original 2003-2007 .doc format and the other in 2013 .docx format, on my Acer 27" monitor (1920x1080) and I cannot see any difference. To see if the problem is an issue with the tablet I just created a Word document on my RT, stored it on...

    New Member - Possibly Future RT Owner

    I opted for the 64GB Surface RT with a touch cover, to which I added a 64GB SD card and the wedge mouse. I've had it since it was released in October and have used it daily for play and work, usually in that order. I was more attracted to the RT (over the Pro) due to its lower cost, lighter...

    Wedge mouse

    I got a wedge mouse for about forty bucks and really like everything about it except, as others have mentioned, the scrolling. It never occured to me to try adjusting it, I'll play with it this evening.

    DVDs on Surface RT ?

    I just tried with my RT and external player (a slim-line DVD player in a USB enclosure). No luck, the movie wouldn't launch.

    DVDs on Surface RT ?

    You may be running into DRM protection on the DVD, which Handbrake can't bypass.

    MS warranty?

    My bad, wrong link. This is the correct one: https://myservice.surface.com/en-US/pages/welcome.aspx I too bought mine later and paid $99.

    MS warranty?

    You can purchase the warranty after the fact here... Microsoft Store Online ...for the same price. I bought mine later, too. I almost forgot --- have fun with your Surface!

    DVDs on Surface RT ?

    You won't be able to find Handbrake in the store since it has to run on a standard x86 PC (which you'll need for the optical drive anyway). You can find it here: HandBrake

    What gripes, if any, do you have about the Surface RT?

    Hey Russ, I had a hunch it had to do with a feature I wasn't using (sideloading .mobi books). I haven't tried the Freda app yet and one of the library options is .epub books. I'll have to give it a try.

    What gripes, if any, do you have about the Surface RT?

    I'm somewhat surprised others are finding the Kindle app to be "unusable". I use the RT as a reader every night with the app, reading Kindle ebooks I checked out of the library, and I haven't run into any issues. Anyway, regarding RT issues, the only problem I had was learning to navigate...

    Ditto to Handbrake, at default settings. Looks terrific on the RT.

    mastering the touchcover?

    I'm in the same boat as Arnold so the touch cover doesn't really hold me back (I also do fine on netbooks :D), but the fact of the matter is that the touch cover will never replace a really good keyboard if you need to type at maximum speed. Even Microsoft has acknowledged that in so many...
