Keen to hear from people who have totally replaced a traditional laptop with a Surface Pro...

Cheers,

Only if it's Gentoo. Gentoo is always the answer.

Nice to see that all of this fuss has been pinned on Microsoft when the blame should be hitting Intel. It is Intel's drivers that are going to correct the problem with the sleep mode. Funny how we don't see Intel coming up and being vocal about their "fabulous" new CPU. I usually trust Intel, but as of late it seems to be e screw up after screw up...

I don't see anyone blaming Microsoft, at least not in this article or this thread, it seems the gist is that there's a problem and the fix was released in December but is waiting for Microsoft to certify and release it via Windows update, that's if you don't want to get the driver from Intel yourself.
