[citation][nom]jayarr8[/nom]I picked up a Surface on Saturday from the MS Store, along with my Win8 upgrades which I need for work. I am a huge early adopting Apple fan, with a home full of iphones, ipads, a mini, T-displays, Macbook Pro Retina, etc. I use Paralells for Win. But, I must say the Surface will replace my work iPad for just one reason: superior work related connectivity with my company's Win7 network. It's a bit early to tell if Win8RT is a winner, but so far vpn, remote connect, network, device, Exchange and directory set ups are all working very smoothly. Easy to set up in a win environment. And the cover keyboard is terrific -- i got both the pressure pad and the chicklet pad. I can't understand why Apple didn't develop its cover to work as a keyboard. (my Brookstone keyboard for iPad is so clunky,)I don't need 200,000 available apps, nor do I need 3G or LTE on Surface. Basic every-day work-related, fast connections to my company email, files, desktop, company collegues is all I want on my Surface as I roam the company from one meeting to another. And i can save docs to a proper doc folder, or to a usb drive. All the things that are frustrating in iOS are available on the Surface including Flash and html5. But make no mistake, iPad / iPhone are my preferred personal devices. I'll use those on the road and at home.[/citation]
What VPN do you use, as far as i know (not saying i know a lot just saying as far as "I" know 😉 ) Cisco, Sonicwall and Netgear dont have any clients for Windows 8 tablets.
