      Believe that to be true. We had an offer within our company to get these really cheap, but our IT said that you can't run Win apps on them.

        I think its one of the reasons they are going so cheaply.... Microsoft has loads to offload, as no-one is buying them.... there just isnt very much third party software for them to make them viable at the moment.... apple and android have the march...

          There are two variations of the Surface devices, the ones using Windows RT can't run normal windows software, the others (Surface Pro) do run Windows 8 and can run normal windows programs.

          I've got a Surface Pro around here somewhere, not tried to install Phoenix on it yet though.

            Surface pro will run all windows programs!

            surface rt which is the cheaper version will not. It will only run apps available thru the apps marketplace.
            The Microsoft offer for Surface RT for education establishments has a long waiting list.

              It will 100% run pheonix as it uses the intel hd 4000 graphics which on my lappy runs it smooth at almost full graphics setting. Coupled with an i5 processor i suspect it will run very smoothly

                As mentioned above. The RT version won't run it. The Pro version should run it OK.
