But there are many "tablet models" to choose from when downloading the drivers. Did you select the "Tablet PC"? I chose that one and it installed without a problem but did not work, thus I thought that maybe I chose the wrong one.

Thanks for the link. Which tablet model do you select? I did not see Surface Pro, so I chose "Tablet PC" and then "Windows 8". The drivers installed without a problem but the pen would not work at all, thus I assume I chose the wrong model? By the way a simple uninstall of the drivers had...

I was referring to a still being a step backwards from Windows 7. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of these improvements also, but it is a bit sad when we get excited about smaller tiles on the smart screen (as compared to the flexibility we previously had) and also excited about being able to...

Agreed, but look how low our expectations have gotten. These are two such minor things and still seem to be a huge step backwards. Sorry not trying to be negative.

Is this the one that has the built in eraser function? I get confused on all of the Galaxy Tab pens....seems many don't but I have seen one at least that does.

I believe his question was about a stylus having the eraser function built in, not about which apps have the eraser function. I too would like to know this. I have read a lot about different styluses (styli?) and not found any. I have bought a couple of different ones without the eraser and...

This is the problem, it is easy to sideload on Android and also on the actual Kindle but it does not appear to be possible in the Windows 8 app. @Arizona Willie, thanks for the input. I was hoping to not have to use another app, but guess I will give it a try. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to sideload Kindle metro app books? It is easy to just copy into the folder on a normal Kindle and also in Desktop application but not sure if it is even possible now. I don't want to have to use the desktop version just to get around this problem. Anyone have a solution?

I agree with you....the "on behalf of" is a show stopper for me. I love that outlook.com is ActiveSync but this and other small problems make it a nogo at this time. It only allows about 1500 contacts (not a problem for me), but the bigger problem is that it only allows about 1250 characters...

Be careful with outlook.com. I had high hopes for it as I wanted to migrate away from Gmail. However, like many others I found out the hard way that outlook.com has many problems. First, it will only "reliably" accept about 1500 contacts, the rest of which will not sync. This is not a...

This worked so well and really makes the Pro interface much more efficient. Thank you!

While it is nice that they offered it for free for a limited time, I personally think this should be standard. At the very least they should have offered it long enough for most people that wanted a Pro to take advantage of it. By Jan 31st the Pro had not even been officially released. I...

Here is the link to the thread discussing pen alternatives. http://www.surfaceforums.net/forum/microsoft-surface-pro/3729-alternative-pens.html

I can't believe I forgot about Onenote. I have not yet started using it on my Pro, but will try soon. Thanks for info on the pen, I will check it out. I also saw another thread about good replacement pens although they do not attach to the pro.

Profoxcg, I agree with you. I have been through the calibration a few times and have spent careful time on the extended 210?? point calibration and I am still occasionally have problems where it seems the Pro writes a little bit off from where you are intending. This feature was one that I was...

Agree with malbertoo....PDF Annotator rocks. It is a great program and works perfectly with the Surface Pro. My only wish is that there was a way to make the toolbar or icons a bit bigger so they are easier to select.
