So how about that Microsoft Surface?

I'd personally stick with Windows Defender. I'm curious to know what other Ranchers think.

Had a great experience with Bitdefender

I've used Avira for years. It's free, and always ranks right up there with the best.

Why would anyone use anything other than Defender? Free and it's M$ and it's already installed.

Defender does the job, a job that isn't an issue if you're not installing dodgy software and visiting dodgy sites.

With windows 10 you'll be installing more software from the windows store which is a trusted site. They're even going to sandbox win32 apps on the windows store, which is great news, no more left over files/registry entries etc.

Yeah... I visit dodgy sites

Ah, thought I was the only one clicking those ' Grow your dick 10 inches using this commonly used household ingredient".

And to answer the question, the ingredient was salt. Just stuff it into your pee-hole and watch it grow as the swelling intensifies.

Just got onboard with a 128gb S3 model. Is good shit so far.

Posting from my new Surface Pro 3. Grabbed the 128gb i5 model from JB, very very impressed! A more than adequate laptop replacement for my needs.

You know you could have written that in the free Microsoft Fresh Paint app. A personal touch would have been nice is all I'm saying. Even a cock and balls in a love heart would've been ok. Unfair not to provide an example I guess. Choose your own expression. I went with a metal themed cocknballs in a bold red heart to keep it basic. I call it Circumcised Steel. The sentiment is merely an example of how I'd imagine being courted and should only be used as a guideline.

It's been really hard not to jump on the Pro 3. But I feel like I'll be rewarded for waiting for the Pro 4. Should only be 2-3 months away.

Yep, stay strong. I see they're doing free keyboards at the moment for i5 256gb and up.

I need a type pad, I really do... I just can't justify paying $180 for one right now, it's fucking apple style robbery.

I'll have to get one eventually but I won't be happy about it.

I found a handy mouse pointer app for Surface or other windows tablet users. It is a little system tray app that gives you a virtual mouse/touchpad.

Really handy for sites that need mouse hover to work and you don't have a stylus or typecover handy!

A question - how often are you out and about where you need to use a type/touch cover?

I found with my original RT that it was rarely... I was more likely to need it at home or at work.. so.. Rather than pay the rather hefty price for a type cover.. I just went to Officeworks and got myself a $30 wireless keyboard and mouse combo that just plugs into the USB. I have one for home.. and one for work. It works a treat!

JB HIFI have 10% off all surface pro 3 tablets.

Madmya · Post by **Madmya** » 26 Aug 2015 11:46 am

Dammit flip, you got me excited for a surface pro 4 announcement.

Where the fuck is it!

Scullibundo · Post by **Scullibundo** » 01 Sep 2015 01:53 pm

Rumors are painting it hitting around October 4 when MS have their next launch event.

Madmya · Post by **Madmya** » 01 Sep 2015 02:19 pm

Sounds legit. Skylake would have to be the processor too. Giddy up.

Madmya · Post by **Madmya** » 15 Sep 2015 01:33 pm

October 6.

Start saving.

jizzlobber · Post by **jizzlobber** » 06 Oct 2015 08:38 pm

Surface 4 announcement in a few hours, wonder if it'll be much of an improvement?
Looks like everyone has announced a knock off.

General Chaos · Post by **General Chaos** » 06 Oct 2015 10:52 pm

Hope they announce they have fixed the fucked mail/calendar universal apps not to mention groove.

Fucking interns!

Surface book looks amazing.

jizzlobber · Post by **jizzlobber** » 07 Oct 2015 11:09 am

Only problem is the 3 hour battery life when the keyboard is not attached, but I guess you need to see it as a laptop rather than a hybrid.
