    Getting to Microsoft Support Pages

    Their site still needs some work - performance has been a little off since the latest 'version' for lack of a better word. When the Surface site first went live I don't recall it looking like it does now. Navigation is a bit poor too - but I am glad they have a dedicated site as a resource to...

    Replacement Surface Pro 2 (Warranty)

    This makes me glad units that i've returned due to defects I was able to wipe myself first. I can't believe they wouldn't have a process (they honestly probably do) in place to just wipe these things no matter what upon receipt. Somebody was probably snooping around data on the returned...

    Seperate Scaling for Desktop and Metro IE

    I don't believe there is. I also don't see it being addressed in the upcoming UPDATE 1. They are currently working on 4K display support and other high resolution displays but nothing in regards to the custom app dpi.

    Okay seriously... what is up with the battery meter in Windows 8?

    Horrible Customer Service for Surface

    Correct me if I'm wrong but both of you are speaking in terms of MS store customer service, not the dedicated Surface support team. I can't speak much to the MS Store customer service but know that there is a dedicated (and in the US) support team for Surface that may be more helpful. I don't...

    So how long does it REALLY take for replacement unit to arrive?

    Kickstand was fine. Everything was actually solid about the unit. I checked it thoroughly and was happy with the replacement quality. I just wished they did their own quality checking before shipping it out.

    So how long does it REALLY take for replacement unit to arrive?

    OP - any update? Also, any more explanation as to what "corrupt" OS means?? I have any update on my experience thus far (not a good one, unfortunately). I received my replacement Surface Pro today (great start to Friday you know?). Opened it up, checked it out. Looked like a refurb but was...

    So how long does it REALLY take for replacement unit to arrive?

    What do you mean by corrupted OS? You can try to restore everything back to factory settings if things aren't working properly. Typically with surface software issues you don't need to send it back. With that said, I have a cracked screen on mine. Doing advanced exchange as we'll. I called...
