I haven't seen any ads except in Solitaire. Wi-Fi Sense is enabled by default, but you still have to explicitly tell Windows to activate it for each separate network you join. It won't share your password unless you tell it to in the wi-fi setup. The password is not transmitted to your...

Saw this on Windows Weekly today. The first insider versions were only Pro. If you did an in-place upgrade from a valid version of 7 or 8.1 Home you got 10 Pro. As long as you didn't restore your system back to the original Home OS you got to keep Pro when the RTM version came out.

Turns out it's not completely dead. I noticed sometimes I could feel the vibration when hitting the windows button so I decided to hook it up to an external monitor using a mini displayport-VGA adapter. It worked, but the screen on the SP2 won't work at all. There isn't even a flicker of the...

I was working on my SP2 this morning. When I got ready to shut the system down it gave me the option to update and shut down or update and restart. I picked the restart option and it updated and seemed to restart fine; however, I left it alone and the system went to sleep. When I tried to...

I would preorder the 256GB version. I imagine the big box stores will have a decent stock of 128GB models, but at $1,300 I think on-hand supplies of the 256GB model might be limited. I preordered the 128GB with a purple type cover as soon as they went on sale this morning. Didn't get a...

That is priced out of my range, but it doesn't seem like a bad price with the specs listed. The 256GB Surface Pro was $1,200 without a keyboard. Even if the $100 price cut is permanent with the Pro 2 we are still looking at $1,100 for 256GB plus $130 for a Type Cover for a total of $1,230...

I'm hoping a little larger by going to 16:10 rather than 16:9 for the aspect ratio. 16:9 is fine for watching movies, but for doing productive work, reading documents & books, or browsing the internet the extra space offered by 16:10 is a better experience. If they kept it the same width of...
