Windows RT and Cisco VPN connections

Anonymous

I'm a little worried about Windows RT's (current) inability to connect to Cisco firewalls via VPN.The only thing I can find on this issue is finger pointing between Cisco and Microsoft. I understand Cisco needs to create an app, but can they with the current restraints? It should be a no brainer for Microsoft to do what they can to make this happen.

This is pretty much a make or break need for us. I really wanted to give Windows RT a chance but if this isn't cleared up, I have no compelling case to deploy Windows tablets.

Does anyone know if Microsoft will work with Cisco on this? Or do you think this is getting squashed for a reason? I don't see why because MS is allowing other VPN connections.

Same too! Surface provided the nice Remote Desktop app but without the Cisco VPN I can't connect to my office or secure remote connection.

Count my vote. My company would probably buy 1000+ of these devices if so. Sadly, we are stuck with that "other" tablet.

I too am in a position that the company won't even consider these since there is no cisco client. WTH Microsoft, another half **** attempt to break into a market. add a couple of small apps and you would actually have a shot at it.

It would be nice if Microsoft could give us it's intention with that matter. I feel like I'm screeming in an empty room.
