I guess the thing I dislike the most about the Plugable is that I have to have both the power and USB cables connected to my Surface (plus the power connector for the Plugable itself). It makes for a messy connection... with cables all over the place. With the dock, I'll be able to keep the...

I can recommend the following $18.99 powered hub http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQFGH80/

Whoa... Acronis True Image 2014 creates UEFI-compatible boot images. I can boot my SP1 (have an SP3 on order) via either a USB flash drive or a USB-based CDROM image. Uh, well... I do have to temporarily turn off "secure boot", but that's no big deal.

Are you doing this via the Local Group Policy Editor, or via an Active Directory Group Policy Object? What is the path to your script in the Logoff section? Is it available to everyone?

I'd recommend that you use the Task Scheduler... Here is how you'd do it: Go to Administrator Tools, Task Scheduler, and use the "Create Task" (not the Create Basic Task) On the General tab Give it a name Click on the "Run whether user is logged on or not" (It will prompt you for a...

I dislike being told to use a new feature... I think that any new feature should stand on its own merit, and if it suits my needs, then I will decide to use it. I don't appreciate being forced to use the new feature because they took away the old version. It's the old "carrot or the...

I use Acronis on all my PCs... and I don't have any issues at all on my Surface Pro. I just installed it as usual (I typically don't use the "secure zone" feature of Acronis, so I didn't install that feature on the Surface either). I've done several full image backups over the network and to a...

I can confirm this issue with my unit as well...

However, all is not perfect.... For example, I installed few application... and only half of them would allow me to install on the SD card (and they were typically small little utilities). The others came up with the following message "Can't install on removable media" (or some wording to...

... and since the charging port is very new, I suspect that no vendor of external batteries has a "tip" for it.

Humph... I've never noticed that. In fact, I've always been impressed with the extreme viewing angles. Well, at least I've got a "real" camera and GPS :)

Well, I've got an ASUS VivoTab RT (aka TF600), and I like it. When compared to the Surface, there are a few differences: 1) Comes with a keyboard dock (with extra battery) 2) Uses a dongle to get to the USB port (unless its docked with the keyboard, then you get a full sized USB port) The...

Yes, those are valid arguments... for a mobile device. But what about a traditional PC? By way of example: I routinely use two email accounts... a POP version for my personal email, and an IMAP version for my work email. I have Outlook 2013 on Windows 8 Pro in which both email streams...

Following along this same kind of thinking... what do you suppose was the reason for removing POP3 support from the Metro mail client? Yes, I'm aware that I can configure my POP3 mail to go through outlook.com as an intermediate step. But why? What valid business reason (for the customer)...

The problem isn’t with the new start screen, I actually kinda like it… the problem is with the shift in attitude (and priorities) at Microsoft. I teach a Management Information Systems course where I frequently drill into the students that business needs drive the requirements for IT (and not...

I've played with Remote Desktop to a Win7 machine... and it works just like you'd expect. However, I didn't have a server to configure a true virtualized application.

Unfortunately, the "F12 Developers Tool" menu item is greyed out... and I haven't found any references on how to enable it
