wireless connection problems with Surface RT 32
Cannot/Will-not connect to office wireless network (Well, "connects" but shows "LIMITED") or even my Verizon Mifi 4G Lite. (Same, connects as "LIMITED") but when I take to home, (Verizon FiOS customer, with wireless) it connect JUST FINE. Sorry I bought this POS, as the iPad-1 SMOKES this on ease of use. Any Ideas on how to connect? (Passwords are all checked/rechecked, haven't changed any settings out of the factory, though looked / compared them all) It boggles the mind that kids can bring...

Is there any Wndows 8 tablet / hybrid with cellular connectivity?
I'm looking for a new tablet that can be useful for some word processing and viewing Microsoft Word documents, and came to a conclusion that a Wndows 8 tablet / hybrid is what I need, because it has full MS Word support. I was looking at the Surface from Microsoft itself, but I also need a 3G-capable device so I can use it anywhere. I don't live in a country that has 4G LTE networks, so that's not important for me. Is there any Windows 8 device with support for 3G connectivity? And if it has an...

DOD CAC compatibility with Windows RT
I'm looking to replace my current netbook with an all-in-one tablet. I'm concerned that my USB Common Access Card (CAC) reader won't be able to verify my DOD inside the ARM system. Has anyone proved that this would be possible? This is the ONLY reason I'm leaning to purchasing a Surface Pro. Perhaps I can do this within Windows RT and save myself all the extra wait and money associated with the Pro version.

Oh why can't give the specs in the metric System?
Would realy be good if they could give the specs in the metric system, like it is used in the majority of the world.

Weird question: Surface, Lumia 920, or Kindle Paperwhite?
I need to partition my financial assets to buy one of these three products. I am currently using a Lumia 900. I do not have a tablet. I am also very fond of the literary arts and reading. Right now I am leaning towards the Kindle, although I may consider one of the other two. What do you think?

Will we see a Metro version of iTunes for Windows?
Will Apple build a Windows Modern UI (Metro) version of iTunes? Don't they need to in order to meet the Windows 8 / Windows RT market. We all know iTunes is due for an overhall (Chomp search?) but would it go that far? Leaving iTunes on the Windows 8 'desktop' seems to be a terrible idea.

What type of microSD cards can Surface for RT read?
The PDF spec sheet on surface.com states that the RT version supports microSD and the Pro version supports microSDXC. So, when they say simply microSD, does that mean HC, XC or what?

Will the Surface tablets be able to run Windows 7?
I'm guessing not as only USB installation would be possible and I'm assuming it won't allow booting from a flash drive. But otherwise, will it be possible to downgrade the OS/expose the startmenu/desktop?
