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.

    I think a lot of companies want to be what the surface pro could have been.  It's even the selling point behind this commercial.

    So they know this is a huge feature to tote.  But it's so frustrating that nobody has actually done it yet.  I've been waiting for years, and thought this was finally it.  It's like microsoft ran an 8 mile marathon in the creation of the surface, and slipped on a leaf and broke their back a foot from the finish line.

    Hopefully they can become more than what the SP could have been. I'm just interested in the whole idea of Microsoft releasing their own hardware & software. I expected quality, and I believe I see quality, just not entirely what I was looking for. If Dell priced their XPS 12 better, I'd probably buy it (ignoring the 3.34 pound initial weight), but I am more attracted by the Surface Pro. I don't know. It just screams buy me :p I'm more into the idea of Microsoft's hardware, which doesn't look plasticky at all (I haven't really seen the SP, only pictures, and images) and is at a more accessible price for its competition at the moment.

    The XPS 12 is at $1099, discounted by $100.00 on Dell's store.

    The ATIV Smart PC Pro is at $999.

    The Surface Pro is at $999, too.

    Now, I'm counting the 128GB versions. The XPS is too expensive IMO. Delivers same specs. (except for a few which are improved), is 160% the weight of the others, and more expensive… uh.

    Then, there's the ATIV. It is perfect, except for the fact it is… slightly heavier I believe (maybe I did count the keyboard's weight), is plasticky (just a looks issue, I'm sure it's sturdy), but it has WinTab, and an included keyboard (which further makes the price look as a bundle). It's like they're asking me to get the ATIV, despite its ridiculously small stylus. Microsoft, I want to buy your damn tablet, please! Just make it a good option… *sniff*

    I hope Microsoft knows this is a huge feature to tote >.<, but more importantly, if they never find out, I hope someone else actually completes that "marathon".

    I've noticed Surface replies to everybody on Twitter (#surface). Hmm… time to create a Twitter account and ask to see the "on the fence" answer I may get.

    I observed that commercial closely, unforunately like the initial Surface Pro ad, it could be misleading 

    Maybe I'm wrong, but he appears to be using a capacitive stylus, and while he is using Illustrator CS6, there isn't any sign of pressure sensitivity in his lines.

    EDIT: I did research, the XPS 12 does not support an active digitizer, as useful for art as an iPad

    Twitter does see to be the social network that gets some monitoring... if you are going to agitate, that is the place to do it. I think Twitter is probably the best designed of all of the social networks as an 'information aggregator' because the more effort you put into finding the right folks to follow, the better it becomes. FB seems to be 75% garbage posts. G+ getting better, esp with its communities.
