    No Kensington Lock Slot

    I bought this on Amazon, because I have a client that I am not allowed to leave my "laptop" unlocked. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K7808DY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I really like it. It is really light, really cheap, and I actually hook my fingers on it when I carry...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Good news - on my test machine, Juniper VPN client works on 10061. Since it was a registry issue it is likely that other 3rd party VPN clients will also work again.

    Dual-booting with a Linux distro

    I "grew up" on Linux, so I've been curious as well. I haven't dug into it, but it looks like there may be a lot of good info on reddit - http://www.reddit.com/r/surfacelinux

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Yes, I use Juniper VPN client. It worked great until 10049. I tried many things, including trying some registry edits based on suggestions in the insider forum, but no luck. I did see where some people managed to get openvpn and pia vpn working again, but I didn't have the same luck. Just...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Saw on the insider forum that one of the windows team members acknowledged screwing up VPNs on 10049, and that they probably won't fix it on the next build. As a result, I had to drop back to 8.1, and I can't believe how much I'd gotten used to 10 already. 8.1 just seems blah now.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    OK, so I rolled back to 10041, but now I want to try 10049 again. I'm set to the fast ring, but 10049 is not showing up as available. Is there some way I can convince it that it is there, or do I have to wait for the ISO's now?

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    I was able to use "Update & Recovery". I selected Recovery from the left hand pane, and "Go back to a previous version of Windows" worked for me.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    I'm not convinced they "messed it up" yet. I installed 9926 from ISO, then updated to 10041, now another update to 10049. Juniper VPN is kind of fussy, for example I have to run the webpage that launches it in IE using compatibility mode. I'm wondering if doing a refresh after the update...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Build 10049 seemed ok for me at first, but then I couldn't get Juniper VPN client working, which is a show stopper for me. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, etc, but no luck. Rollback to 10041 worked like a charm! so I'll have to try again later.... maybe....

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Every other day or so, I get a notification that says "Click here to enter your most recent credentials. Your Microsoft account needs you to sign in again.". When I click it, it takes me to my account page in settings, with nothing to do. Ignoring it doesn't seem to cause any issue.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Downloading for me.... I have many other updates available also though, because I just installed office 2013, and am getting those updates too.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Is anyone else having trouble using Juniper VPN with build 10041? It launches and connects, but I can't access any intranet resources.

    Windows Updates not taking

    I am experiencing the same thing - KB2881553 Update for the English Input Personalization Dictionary. The version number does change, and I've read that this update comes out almost daily with a new version. Mine hasn't installed successfully in so long I don't even pay it any attention...

    Multi-Monitor "Triple" setup

    I just read an article that said displaylink will be slow unless you use an Aero desktop theme, because the standard themes don't use the gpu. The poster did say that once they enabled Aero, the performance was great.

    So...has the SP3 replaced your laptop?

    I have a work issued laptop I have to use for work, but other than that - The original Surface already replaced my tablet and laptop as my only device (besides a phone), so yes, this was a true upgrade for me.

    Any Happy SP3 users?

    I'm a fan - Coming from the original Surface 128, now the 3 with 256. I find that the extra screen size with the lighter weight and thinness is perfect for me, and I'm taking advantage of the tablet use more than I used to. I use OneNote and the pen daily for work, and don't even carry paper.

    Arc Touch mouse connect to SP3 without USB dongle

    Actually there are 3 versions - The original Arc Mouse and the Arc Mouse Touch are USB only, and need the transceiver. The Arc Mouse Touch Surface Edition is Bluetooth only. To make it REALLY confusing though, the Arc Mouse Touch packaging brags about the "BlueTrack" technology, which if you...

    By the 20th?

    It is somehow comforting to look here and know that I'm not the only one who can think of little else than the shipping status today...

    Why would you EVER preorder??

    I don't live anywhere near a Microsoft Store, so I pre-ordered. My card was just charged, so just crossing fingers now. Ironically, if it doesn't get delivered on Friday, I will be out of town in Houston on Monday and drive right past the Microsoft Store....
