That's awesome not that I have use for it but I know my Apple loving girlfriend would be pleased! Would this work on the original Surface Pro?

cool, would be funny to swing by a MS store and say that your SP is acting funny with OSX on it! Doesn't look like wifi is working though.

May be interested in buying a first gen Surface Pro once the prices fall even further and trying this out on it.

There's 3 problems I see with this though:

1. no wifi
2. Lack of full stylus support
3. unclear battery life and stability

anyone try it out and have insights/possible solutions to these problems?

If the Wacom drivers for Apple is open source and Microsoft simply changed the vendor/product id, it might be possible to recompile those and it should work. Dunno if the source is available. Writing one from scratch using sources from linux would be a lot of work.

The ACPI and power management stuff would be harder.

Pffft, you should definitely dump your GF, unless she converts to MS then she's a keeper. :tongue: Lmao

OS X and Windows is quite nice, wouldn't mind dual booting OS X if I knew more about wifi drivers.

Having to use OS X round hers all the time I've come round to it. I still prefer Windows... but in a way I'm looking forward to having a house full of awesome machinery from both Apple & Microsoft when we eventually get round to moving in together!

She has Windows Phone actually, but she hates it

Then she has bad taste all round, except in boyfriends of course
