TOPIC: HIP Software on my Microsoft Surface Pro

I am buying a Microsoft Surface Pro and I would like to know if anyone has used HIP on the Surface Pro yet.

Being that it is a full windows 8 tablet, I wanted to know if the desktop version of HIP is touch friendly.

Yup, HIP was built for Tablets from day 1. It works great on the Surface Pro! You'll need to lower the resolution or increase the font size just because the surface has such a high resolution, but otherwise it works great.
