    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    I see some comments above stating that the TP is focusing on stability and operation, which is perfectly understandable. However, in this day and age, fluid UX design is just as important, (Win 8 was a unmitigated disaster in this department when unleashed on the world). The UX simply has to...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    With the many Billions of dollars at their disposal, it still amazes me that MS employs graphic designers with grade school level of experience and qualifications. They have their work cut out for them if they want to launch Windows 10 this year still. For the love of all things holy, you can...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    So I appreciate what MS are doing with Windows 10, and there are some extremely great features coming. But for me (and I know others have said this) the tablet mode is basically pointless, it's essentially a maximised desktop mode with clumsy navigation. Seems like an afterthought. Windows 8.1...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Clean install using 10074 ISO for my SP3. After running the updates, everything seems fine, except for Cortana, which never says my name and always addresses me as "<username>" in any search result ...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Hi all Just did a dual boot with clean install of W10TP build 10041 from USB. I have one device in device manager not recognised - PCI Simple communications controller. Any ideas ? Also - what is the consensus of intel GFX driver to be using at present ? Thanks.

    Type Cover randomly stops working - Event ID 264

    Hi guys Usually once or twice a day, my type cover stops working. A disconnect and reconnect fixes the issue, although still annoying. I've traced the event to "A multi-touch device reported inconsistent contact information." Event ID is 264. Anyone else experience something similar or know...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Hi guys - tried paging through the thread but couldn't find an answer: what the easiest way to clean install from 8.1 to W10 10041 on the SP3 ? ISO image on USB ? Also what is the consensus on battery life using the TP as a daily driver.

    MS Sculpt Comfort BT mouse + Bose Soundlink Mini issue

    Well perhaps interference or a degree of incompatibility at a driver or Bluetooth stack level, but it is definitely causing another device to have "drop outs" - or periods of excessive lag. Perhaps bandwidth, or lack thereof, may not be the most apt description, but it is something along those...

    MS Sculpt Comfort BT mouse + Bose Soundlink Mini issue

    Some really good info in this thread now - my problem persists - it must definitely be bandwidth related. All things being equal ...

    Anyone use their SP3 and Note as their daily notepad?

    While I am starting to get used to the pen + OneNote combo for taking notes (either using the Metro app or Desktop app) I still find I revert to (extremely fast) touch typing with the typecover. Anybody else do this ?

    Wifi speed was slow

    Need to post that I'm getting this random behaviour as well. Randomly, my wifi drops to tortoise slow speeds (either on 5 or 2.4Ghz network at home - Asus Dark Night N66U 900mbps). Other clients (iPhone, media streamer etc) get fullspeed still, so it's not the router. A restart fixes it - but...

    My SP3 froze in a meeting

    I guess with Windows, and depending on how each device is setup with apps and background services etc. YMMV. I found my rMBP 13 inch (late 2013) was rock solid, threw everything at it never needed a reboot or a restart. Windows simply isn't OSX. I had my first system freeze yesterday. Left...

    How is that a SP3 boots up considerably faster than an ipad air 2?

    Flash ram on a SoC application is NOT an SSD. It's a fundamentally different design. I don't think the iPad flash would manage a 5th of the sustained or random r/w and io operations of a modern PC, OSX included.
