GuestJuly 8, 2013 at 7:00 pm #54471There is a paucity of information about the Surface Pro and few writing about their experience beyond initial reviews by professionals. There are many older people, like me, who are curious and prize Woody’s answers; me, since early 2008.
There are negative user comments about the Microsoft Forum and getting information online. I was not able to carry out the suggested directions for rotating a drawing done with the Fresh Paint app from the vertical “portrait” position on which I did it, that had been posted by the app in a horizontal position when saved.
The unnamed experts from Microsoft send the answers.
There’s a new app with News for new apps!
Ques. on apps in app store: after being unable to find the answer online over many days search,
There are a variety of apps for Windows Media Player, even the new 8.1. I bought one of the variety, but I only get a picture of the icon on my tile. How do I know the Windows Media app is
“happening”/working? It’s not like having a DVD drawer in a laptop (no DVD optical drive in Surface Pro tablet)?
