Yes indeed. Personally, I didn't encounter the term InstantGo before reading this thread. At first, I wasn't sure either if it was the same. But after doing some research, here is what I found:
A document from Intel mentioning at the second page:
A web page mentioning:
This makes me think that the original term was Connected Standby but Microsoft decided to create a brand and name it InstantGo.

How do we verify the Surface2 has it? I'm still not sure what the difference is after scanning through that pdf. The surface does push/pull emails and data while in standby mode.

re: Official "I have the Surface 2" thread
Right, think I'll chip in here.
From what I've read, I came to the conclusion that the Surface 2 didn't have InstantGo, because when I use the new Alarms app, I get this message at the top:
When I click that link, I am then told that if I see that message, then my device does not have InstantGo:
However, having used the Alarms app this morning, I find out that the alarm does go off if the device is asleep.
I'm confused.

I don't know how InstantGo differs from connected standby, but Surface 1 & 2 both support connected standby which means notifications and alarms work when the device is asleep. Maybe that message shows the very first time the app is run regardless of device, just to get the users attention.

Just got back from picking up my S2! The back has a much different feel than I was expecting but it's still nice. Signed into my account and all my settings popped right up. Just a few more tweeks and I'm all set. Out of the box I have more than 18GB free but I still have a good chunk of apps to download.
