On: My review of the Surface Pro

I often need to force restart metro apps gone wild, and I do so in the task manager (didn't know about the finger trick). These are first party apps like Mail also (to be fair, I have to do this in iOS also, no app is perfect!).

If you have two monitors, you can toss the whole Metro interface from one to the other under Windows 8. It's efficient and effective.

I don't use metro much on my desktop, just laptop and surface RT unit. The network sucks here in china, and most metro apps don't deal with it very well.
