Has anyone tried running the Eos Client Software on a Surface Tablet?

I have been a bit disappointed with the usability of the Ipad/ipad programs, specifically not having magic sheets or any way to access the customized aspects of the boards, and was wondering if anyone has tried running the client on a Surface Pro tablet.

If so:

How did it run? (Any crashes, errors, bugs, hangs, etc...)

How did the multi-touch work? (Do you need to use a stylus to hit any small menus or is it navigable by touch?)

Were magic sheets smooth and were direct selects easy to use?

Was the wifi strong and does it work persistently through screen shutoff? (unlike the ipad)

 

The Surface Pro seems like a very strong tool and isn't much more than an Ipad for the usability you potentially gain.  I'm eager to hear if anyone has any experience with it.

  • Are you able to run it in compatibility mode under XP or 7?  My netbook is an old XP system that runs it just fine, including the magic sheets and my other laptop runs 7.  Your win 8.1 should auto recognize if it isn't a 64bit and be able to run it just fine.

    I have access to an 8.1 laptop I'll give it a go on this weekend.

    What other problems are you having?
