Surface Pro Pen pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop CS6. Was anyone able to get their surface pro to use the pen pressure sensitivity? In my photoshop settings when i turn on Pen Pressure for brush settings i see a yellow exclamation mark next to each settings which has to do with pen pressure. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please let me know.

    When the Samsung Ativ was released it was also not loaded with drivers for the pen that would allow pressure sensitivity in photoshop.  The difference with that situation is that it was fixed within a week, and it is now possible to load wacom drivers.  I chose the Surface Pro over the Ativ because I believed that Microsoft would fully support this device.  So far I'm left wondering if I made the right choice.  I think there has been 2 responses from a microsoft employee to this thread.  This is unacceptable in this current landscape of social media.

    So Blue updates for Win8 seem to have leaked to a number of tech sites.  No sign of updates to the pen for the Surface in what I've read so far, but it would be nice to hear if the fix we so desperately need is a planned inclusion or if it's being worked on seperately.  As I've been saying, silence is just unacceptable at this point.

    Waiting for Blue is not acceptable. Microsoft stated "soon" 6 weeks ago.

    They are now refusing to provide updates or participate in this thread. It's a real shame that they can't give us the courtesy of an update.

    I hope to see a solution to this too. For me it's not a big enough problem to make me want to return the tablet, but I can understand how much of a problem this is for people who bought the Surface Pro mainly because of the pressure sensitivity in Photoshop.
