Thanks for this link. The new drivers definitely help with Photoshop. I really appreciate the improved cursor accuracy in the periphery of the touchscreen.

I can answer based upon my experience with the SP, but I don't pretend to be an expert. Using a USB mouse with the SP does take up the port and changes the external shape of the machine. Bluetooth is the way to go with a mouse, and there are many on the market. I have preordered the Surface...

Here is a link to an article with a neat little video on Yahoo finance. 11K units represent quite a sale for MS Delta to equip 11,000 pilots with Microsoft Surface 2 tablet devices - Yahoo Finance

My experience with MS customer service and exchanges has been excellent. I have had to exchange both my SP and a type cover through them, and the process is easy- you call MS, work with the rep to confirm the nature of the problem, they send you a replacement unit (each got to me within 48 hrs)...

I just submitted a pre-order for the 256gb as well. No confirmation. Unable to get to the chat person.

It is the nearing the end of the year, and I have a budget for an upgrade to my SP. I use my present device for presentations, research, photo editing and the usual web surfing and e-mails. I love the SP for its portability and responsiveness. The only reason for me to replace my SP would be...

Same here. I have an HP 7510 on my home network. Before updates earlier this year I would lose wifi frequently, and I just thought that loss of connection with the printer was a consequence of that. After updates, I no longer lose wifi, and I have actually installed the printer-specific drivers...

My SP stopped recognizing the type cover last week. I am not near a MS store, so the rep on the phone sent me a replacement by FedEx that arrived within 48 hrs. Only problem was having to reinstall a few programs. This actually gave me the opportunity of not reinstalling programs I have not been...

My Ford C-Max came with a power inverter...

Apple as a company enjoys unusually strong customer loyalty. People should be free to have their own opinions about anything, but I have to admit I do not understand why consumer electronic devices have become the objects of such fanaticism. I readily confess to falling prey to some of this...

The SP is my PC now. When I upgraded from the RT back in February, it did take me some time to get used to the extra weight, heat, and shorter battery life of the Pro. Last week my wife was using the SP for something, and I got out my old Zenbook Prime, and I was reminded that there are some...

Looks great- I can't see where to make the search feature to work (charm search brings up no result). Also, posting without quoting would be a good option Sent from Boards for Windows on Windows 8

Finally, an ad that actually informs the public of the productive features of the SP. Now we just need to see an ad that explains the difference between SP and RT...

I have been working almost a full day with my SP after the update yesterday, and still no "limited wifi" problem. Keeping my fingers crossed...

I installed the updates without a problem. I am keeping my fingers crossed, but so far I have not run into the "limited wifi" problem that I had before.

Works nicely with Photoshop!

I finally got fed up with having to disconnect and reconnect to wifi, so I took the following steps: a) disabled the Marvell driver b) installed a Netgear usb wireless adapter Works perfectly. I am bummed that the USB is taken up by this ugly gizmo, but at least things are functional again. I...

I agree that it is well past time for a fix to this. I called MS customer service last week, and I encountered a representative who did not seem too be very concerned ("just disconnect and reconnect- not so hard, is it?" Is there any way to elevate this to a higher priority?

Hmmm, I have been getting limited wifi while on my home network again on a fairly frequent and annoyingly regular basis. However, I am in NYC for the weekend now, and while working off the hotel's public wifi, my Surface has not had a single problem with wifi, either in speed or connectivity...

I have owned an RT and I have a Pro now. The RT performed perfectly well for e-mail, web surfing, and Office. I upgraded to Pro to add some desktop applications (Photoshop, etc), but I find that for 90% of what I use a computer for, the RT actually is a bit more convenient than the Pro: i.e...
