Their take on it was that it's a great artists' device.

Well, visual artists at least. No existing audio software runs on it, and it doesn't even support playback of MIDI files. I remain somewhat interested in a Surface Pro, but (like Google, and like MS themselves on Windows for years) the Surface is only useful to musicians for checking email.

They're talking about the Pro which presumably runs tons of audio software.

Oh, blind spot on my part - I was so fixated on the RT context that I didn't read the article properly. Thanks for pointing that out.
