I'll check this out later! Thanks, illuzn.

I guess, our answers were so incredibly awesome that there was no need for any additional responses ... ;)

Definitely! Like the SP4 ... :D

That's interesting. It definitely isn't a problem for everyone (as you've obviously pointed out but also because I suspect more people on this forum would have reported a problem). I'll give the firmware update another shot this weekend. I'll let you know how I get on. Someone on the Microsoft...

I do have minor bleeding on my SP2. However, it's only noticeable on the black "Surface" branded start-up screen. Admittedly, I probably wouldn't have noticed it if it was for this thread. So, thanks ... ;)

I restored my SP2 to its factory settings today because I wanted to create a clean recovery disk. When I downloaded all available Important Windows Updates I discovered that the firmware update, dated October 24th, had removed my wireless adapter so I was unable to connect to the internet...

I wholeheartedly agree with this. But, I'm struggling to drop another £250 on-top of what I've already paid (even if it means saving money in the future. I know, crazy, right?)

Ah! Thanks for setting me straight ... :) And, I totally agree with your suggestions and your reasoning! ... :) (I should have applied my answer more to the individual rather than my own requirements)

Admittedly, I'll have to apologise for referring to Windows Defender while thinking of Microsoft Security Essentials (although you'd think they were the same product). The reports I often look at can be found here ... Dennis Technology Labs The reports are on the right hand side ... :)...

Do you still think it may be worth modifying the case to provide additional ventilation?

Oh, wow! Congratulations, and welcome to the forum! I have an SP2 but I've heard very good things about the S2. I'm certain you won't be disappointed (regardless of your use-case ... ;))

Well, there it is. Thanks Jeff!

jamesk. As The Toy Man has already explained, Windows Defender (which is free) comes included with Windows 8. As I want to keep my SP2 as clean as possible (that is from unnecessary program installations) I refuse to install any third-party anti-virus solutions. At the end of the day, the...

If I'm honest, I can't see a difference on the Microsoft Store UK. But, they seem to be missing the Technical Specifications for the original Arc Mouse so they haven't made it easy. I think it just looks slightly different?

Check out this link ... SkyDrive - Available Offline or Online in Windows 8.1 If you scroll maybe an eighth of the way down the page, you'll see an "Option One" heading. Step 4 of Option One gives you instructions to make all of you SkyDrive files and folders accessible only when you're...

As we can see, there have been some very different experiences using the online MS store.

Good spot, terente. Thanks for the link.

clrokr. I can't fault my experience with the online Microsoft Store, at all. But, I appreciate that there are some differences in our scenarios. Location: UK Model Ordered: SP2 64GB Date Ordered: 2nd October Date Told It Would Be Shipped By: 22nd October Date Arrived: 22nd October

Am I correct in saying that 64GB is the largest capacity micro SD card you can get? Other people have been using their SanDisks just fine and they are, of course, a well represented brand. I plan on picking one of myself. I would recommend just replacing it for the another of the same card...

Thanks for the link. But, I'm curious. Why would you want to disable SecureBoot in the first place?
