just search for "computer" and pin it to the start screen. its also accessible through file explorer on the left side.
edit: you can also have it on the desktop by searching for "Desktop Icon".

What is the verdict on this? Is it worth 600+? Been thinking about getting one.
Control Panel > Personalization > Change Desktop Icons > Check "Computer" hit ok or apply.

Pretty crazy news. It's still in the VERY early stages, and programs obviously need to be recompiled to work on ARM, so open source apps firstly. But good news, nonetheless. I saw the guy got 7zip running, and some others are working on VLC, and Chromium.
Exciting!

hardware is pretty cool, so is windows rt, by far the best tablet OS, the side by side multitasking for apps is a great idea. it still lacks apps (and of course cant run desktop software besides office) and the screen resolution could be better.
otherwise it is pretty slick, I toyed around a little with one and loved it. Personally I will buy the Pro model when it comes this month (hopefully), but that is a good chunk more expensive and heavier.
Whoa.
Checked out the Rabbi vs. Dawking thread, lots of banning!
I always like to think that the first post of theirs I see that has them banned is the post that got them banned.
"Thanks for helping guys..."
**BANNED!!!**
lol
How can someone so atheist own a Surface? I own one and I even admit it's a belief in the imaginary.
Oops, I trolled him too hard. Win+E actually summons the ban hammer. There are tons more shortcuts. For instance, Alt+F4 temp bans GAF from your computer.
It's easy to get unbanned though, just PM Evilore a photo of you with a legit theist hugging dated on Jesus' birthday and the name of the church. He'll sort it out.

Nah, I think he deserves the ban for not knowing about the Win+E shortcut. Come on, I think it's one of the first shortcuts I've ever learnt, only behind the copy/paste/cut ones.

I'd be tempted to ban based on that, so many of my friends claim they're power users and yet they can't get to the desktop or minimize all without a mouse. Strange. I guess my nerd-father taught me better.

Worth $499.
Use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse OR usb keyboard + mouse.

We had a new staff member start in our IT dept today. I am printing him a list of shortcut keys and making him memorize them!
End of the month.

I really want the surface pro. I hope I get one from the first batch, I expect those to be sold out pretty quickly, especially with the low expectations microsoft probably has after the modest sales of the original surface.,
I got it day 1 and do not regret the purchase at all. I use it all the time.
probably the same time as the US.
Why are the expecting this?
So when it doesn't they can have something else to complain about.
Why would they endure such bad press if the battery life is better? I would reckon they knew the battery life for these chips a long time ago.
Because they're uneducated ignorant pundits who have absolutely no semblance of understanding behind what goes into the development of a product like this.

Not only is that ridiculous, but MS already lists (and has for a while), the 3rd gen i5 as the processor for the Surface Pro on their website.
Actually when they announced the Surface Pro they wrote about a 'new' i5 processor and it's not unheard of that Intel would work with a partner to get a new CPU into a new device before everyone else can get it (Appple got some of the ULV stuff first, afair).
So I'd say it's quite possible.
That new 7 Watt core i5 model is still 3rd gen. The mobile Haswell devices will only arrive in the second half of the year.
if Surface Pro has the new CPU, Microsoft would be shouting it from the roof sooner or later, really don't expect it, when that Lenovo Yoga that has it comes out anyway? that should give an idea, I don't think MS would want to beat OEMs to the market with something like that either.
here is Intel's press release

if Surface Pro comes out end of this month it won't have it, there is no reason to expect otherwise. it would have got a mention.
quality journalism there.

"Microsoft lies to consumers about cpu. Their browser is to blame"
"Editorial: If Microsoft just used the web standard that is webkit, they would be able to use the new low-power CPU's and we would all shit rainbows."

Which episode isn't?

Oh, alright. I assumed it was referred to as 4th gen.
Oh God, they really don't know anything about technology do they?
Right click on start menu --> all apps --> pin "computer"
In desktop mode right click on desktop --> personalization --> change desktop icons
You can also pin control panel on taskbar for extra power commands and shit.
Edit: why did I quote Stinkles old post lol never mind.
And it's firmware time people!
