I dont see the problem with it tbh. The surface is a genuinely nice piece of hardware, its just some people dont like windows 8.
Now a hackintosh on the surface would be very interesting albeit incredibly unlikely.

I wonder if one of the various android x86 projects would consider a surface pro version.

I rather wait for windows android to release stable versions. I don't want to reboot and lost true multitasking just to play a mobile game.

Surface pro with Mountain lion...

looks like a fair bit of input latency there, very similar to what I see with remote desktop as opposed to running on the machine. Either that or poor drivers. Either one is possible

or the fact ml isn't supposed to run touchscreen so its not optimised....?

I would class that under poor driver support which I already said....

OSX does support touchscreen anyway.

my surface pro cannot boot from Windows 7 and Linux USBs, it still proceeds to windows 8. (im trying to put windows 7 on it or Linux)

but I can on my Recovery USB. i'm using the down volume method, and tried the advance boot thingy and chose USB method.

So i doubted if my win7 and linux usbs are not bootable, but they both boot well on my other pc.

I also have that EFI boot disabled. im not exactly a noob with tweaks and software installation, i just dont know why my surface pro wont accept those bootable usbs so i can start installing them.

please help.

That's great and all, but I can't find the Marvell drivers for ubuntu at all..
