Microsoft Surface Pro 2 512 GB

["... you mean these fans?"]

Hi,

 

I own Mac's and I have one PC to test solutions on.  I have really no experience with PCs.

 

I have a client who bought the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 512 GB, says that it can load and run applications.

 

Here is what the specs said ...

 

The master software that controls hardware functions and provides a platform on top of which any software applications will run. Commonly used systems include Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X for computers and Palm OS and Microsoft Windows Mobile for PDAs.

 

So, is it saying that Mac and Windows software can be installed and run ??

 

Can a Filemaker application run on the Microsoft Surface Pro ?? and communicate to a hosted file.

 

​Any insight / pit falls / suggestion here I would be grateful.

 

Thank you.

 

Tom :-)

No, that's not possible. Where are you quoting from? Those cannot be the official specifications. I suggest you go to the Microsoft site and get the real specs from there.

Well, the Surface Pro 2 can run desktop apps. I'm not sure about compatibility though.  Try installing the demo...and let us know!!!

LOL, I love it when someone else gets on the Bleeding Edge of something.

Hi,

 

HaHaHa …. I googled the product and ended up on BEST BUYS Product page and clicked on the Specification TAB, Yikes !

 

I guess Microsoft Website would be a better place.

 

Hmm … :-)
