    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    So I installed the Windows 10 preview yesterday, and overall it's pretty stable. However the proXPN client doesn't connect anymore and Faststone Capture doesn't let me do any screen captures anymore. I expect Microsoft to fix the proXPN issue, but the Faststone guys will probably adapt their...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    I totally agree with you. VM testing is not really what the preview is for. It's not the way most users will run Windows 10.

    So GoodIntentions, maybe now you understand why I feel that a subscription is the only way to pay programmers for all the man-hours necessary to develop and maintain good software. People who only want to pay once and then expect a life time of updates, expect software developers to happily be...

    Esperanto is an artificial language invented by a Polish linguist. It's got a small but dedicated user base and is sometimes used for cross translation where they can't find someone who speaks the source and target language.

    The logo is fine. Do you really think people buy Windows or Apple products because of their respective logos?

    SP3 @ Starbucks

    I bought mine in the NEX in Pearl Harbor in July because I had screwed up my smartphone and needed Wi-Fi to stay in touch with the folks back home. I took it McDonalds/Starbucks every day I wasn't stuck on the ship. But no one took any notice of it, and I never anyone else with a Surface Pro 3.

    Once you write your own pdf and xls editors, you'll be in first, second and third place. Ha ha.

    What do you do with the keyboard when using Surface as a tablet?

    I just fold it back when I use it as a tablet. Or I fold it back and put the kickstand on top of the cover to watch movies or podcasts.

    Is the10.6 form factor dead?

    Try to a use a Surface Pro 3 in side-by-side mode somewhere if you get the chance. You'll see almost immediately why they chose that form factor.

    will the SP3 get a power cover?

    I can't see that happening because it would more than double the weight of the Surface Pro 3, thus negating one of its principal selling features. Maybe if there were thousands of people clamoring for a powercover, it might happen. For now I recommend one of those huge capacity battery bricks.

    I didn't ask for it, but I did like the feature for not covering the document once a selection is made. Until I discovered the problems cited above, that is. :(

    Alright, it's the "Collapse Menu When Lost Focus" option that's giving me all the grief stated above. I guess I won't use it anymore.

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    So I was typing up a document, and I wanted to use distinct color for certain passages. Unfortunately Modern Word Processor doesn't let me change the font color unless the text is already selected. So I have to type the text in the currently set font color first, then select the text I just...

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    Actually it was kind this kind of disregard for Windows users wishes on the part of Microsoft that lead to Windows 8 being perceived as a failure. The lesson they learned and addressed with Windows 8.1 was that touch use and mouse use require different methods. Analogously if there are users who...
