Sad Day For Me - Have to Return My SP2 To MicroCenter

[bizzy-glx]

Picked up my Surface Pro 2 from MicroCenter last week, after the finally had them back in stock.

Loved the device, and loved the though of having a powerful, little 10" tablet as my day-to-day laptop and tablet.

Unfortunately, I have to return it.

The Juniper Pulse VPN client is totally incompatible with Surface Pro 2's, and will totally hose up touch/type covers, any and all network adapters and the touchscreen itself.

Here's where the issues are talked about on Juniper's forum:

Junos Pulse 5.0r1 seems to break MS Surface Tablet - J-Net Community

There are two workarounds that Juniper has published, but neither of them solved the issues.

Apparently, the March/April Juniper Pulse VPN client package should remediate the issues...but my Network team does not have the time or cycles to work on it.

I've never heard of Juniper Pulse...but it sounds like it's a VPN?

My bad, updated my post to reflect that Pulse is a VPN client.

That's better... lets keep this on topic please.
