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.

    Pen works great with artrage but not completely in sketchbook pro. Can't pinch to zoom and scoll. Like PhotoShop,pen pressure is useless with Toon Boom software. Main reason I bought surface pro is to use Toon Boom software and PhotoShop. But other then the pressure support,its a great piece of hardware. Hope they release an update driver soon.

    I wanted to chime in and just let folks know I just tried the demo of Corel Painter 12 and it also suffers from our Digitizer problem. I've not yet tried Artrage 4, since they don't seem to have a demo... But I think I read somewhere that Artrage 4 is working...

    Also, I've been blogging about my experiences with my Surface Pro on my own blog, http://www.dowerchin.com.

    Agreed, that was a very in depth review!  I've only had my surface for less than a day, but I agree on virtually all counts.  Gabe's review on penny-arcade that you linked was a deciding factor in me purchasing the tablet, interesting that you'd read the same thing!

    Personally, this is the tablet that I've been waiting for.  Powerful enough to run full featured apps like photoshop well, not just barely, but light enough to be comfortable to lug around.  Battery life is only a tertiary concern for me.  I feel like most tablets are geared toward better battery life already at the cost of performance/function.  I'd rather put my bottleneck in the battery, as you aptly suggest :)

    It reminds me a lot of a windows version of the modbook pro, except that it runs an OS designed to be a tablet and has touch support.

    Still getting used to Windows 8, but my god.  Turning off the touch features when the pen tip is near the screen = gold.

    Very nice, I think I'd call those non i5 tablets a LOT less powerful, but overall a very good user review.
