Surface Pro

Here's one thing that REALLY irked me. I could not 'touch-scroll' using the stylus; however, using my own stylus (just a capacitive targus one), everything worked as expected.

here was my test case, go to the start screen, put the stylus on an empty patch and flick left or right. nothing happened with the pro's one, but with the targus one, it scrolled in the proper direction, like you would expect.

now, the MS rep said that they were using special firmware in response to an entirely different question, so I don't know if that affected scrolling with the stylus.

Yeah I found that strange too, for some reason to scroll with the stylus you have to use the scroll bar at the bottom. My explanation is that they are treating the stylus like a mouse, you cant scroll just anywhere with the mouse my dragging on the homescreen, if you want to click and scroll there you have to go down to the bottom again and use that bar. Mouse gets around this by having a scroll wheel however.
