The Surface (and some of the Asus tablets) use an ARM processor, not an x86 processor so they cannot run normal windows binaries, it's a completely different processor architecture and instruction set.
What Microsoft has done is recompile windows 8(8.1) for ARM and called it Windows RT. Any applications also have to be recompiled to run on ARM. Since the market is kind of small, not very many companies have decided to release ARM versions of their software.
That all being said I DO have an ASUS RT tablet, they are dirt cheap these days and for what I needed it for they are a better fit than any other tablet options.
No, I have not tried hooking up a USB DAC yet, I ought to do that some day!
The Surface PRO line use x86 processors so they can run normal Windows and run all the millions of Windows programs.

- However, if you change your subject to "Windows tablet" instead of "Surface 2", the picture changes. - carcass93 07:24:56 07/20/14 ( 17)
