[DUG] Windows Surface

[John Bird]

At first they came out in 2 flavours,  full WIndows 10 version on Intel type CPU.

Also a “lite” cut down second model that ran only WIndows RT (on an ARM processor I think).   and had Windows 10 and Office cross compiled to it, and only ran universal Apps from the Windows Store, of which there are not so many.    I get the impression this flavour died a natural death,   was probably too little demand for it, with iPads and Chromebooks in the same space.

The Surface Pro (full versions) have always had pretty good press.

  Recent Windows Surface uses Intel x64 and regular Windows. It can run most software designed for regular Windows. I say the best option now would be to test it.

    Hi all. 
    Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Windows Surface's and if you can run native Win32 App's on them, i.e. Delphi app's.
    I have a customer who uses Mac's and I told them to get Parallels and a Windows 10 Lic, which works fine, and he told me he purchased a Windows Surface! so I need to find out the above so if need be he can take it back....agh.....

    Thanks, Jeremy
