I'm running McAfee on my Surface Book 2 and it works fine. Does it use more mem than Defender? I don't know and don't care since every other app I use on my PC runs great. Yesterday, it notified me of a suspicious .jar file it had quarantined so it's doing its job. I'm happy.

Weird. I didn't have to do anything special. It just worked. Maybe you have a corrupted download.

Not sure about that. I didn't have any problems.

I followed the instructions here to make a VHD and schedule a task to mount it at log in. I can install and run anything to mSD. Microsoft Surface

Sure. Microsoft Surface

I've been doing the VHD thing on my surface. I just set up a task with the scheduler that mounts it at login.

I bought this for $10. Used it last night on a projector and it worked perfectly. Amazon.com: eForCity Mini Display Port to VGA Male / Female Adapter Compatible with Apple? MacBook?, MacBook? Pro, iMac?, MacBook Air?, Mac? Mini Laptop: Computers & Accessories

That brings back great memories. The C64 was my first computer. It put the smack down on my best friend who only had the Vic 20 :).

Yeah, somethings wrong. From power button press to lock screen is 7 seconds for me.

I wouldn't. I'm on my second surface (due to other reasons) and they both have the same amount of bleed. I'm a display snob but honestly, I can't see any effect when actually using the device.

I think it's how the game is coded. Like others, I've notice the classic Solitaire and Mahjong cause the Surface to heat up and the fans to kick in. I've been meaning to install Process Explorer to see what those programs are doing exactly. There's probably some thread going crazy in the...

I'm a photographer who bought a Surface Pro. Like you, I wanted to be able to run Photoshop and other photographic apps such as Nikon Camera Control for tethered shooting and the Pocket Wizard Utility for configuring my flashes. It works perfectly. Just remember, its got a 10.6" screen at...
