My focus on this is because it will be the first Microsoft tablet to run a full version of Windows Outlook. And since over 90% of my clients\/readers use Windows Outlook, that’s important. And Surface Pro should run any other PC software well, for that matter, since it will have a standard PC chip in it.<\/p>\n
And, something important to me, it has an active pen interface (meaning better accuracy and built-in wrist protection for better note taking, markup editing, and drawing).<\/p>\n
The big question: battery life. We’ll see.<\/p>\n
