Is Surface Pro a Virtualized Environment on the Tablet?

On this inaugural day of the Surface Pro I got the 128 Gb version with the Type Cover (blogging on it right now). 

I tried to see what kind of serious chops it had and I thought I would try to install Battlefield 3 to test out the processor and graphics power vs my 3 year old machine that drives Battlefield 3 pretty well. 

It wouldn't run after the install and gave an error saying that "This game will not run on a virtualized environment".  So there isn't anything out there yet as I fear I might be the only one to try this so far on the first day. 

I am about 97% through the download and install on Battlefield Bad Company 2 on Origin right now and so  should be able to let you know soon if it works with older versions of the game.

Arg... I tried to install Win 8 and CRM for Outlook on an old Pentium 4 I had lying around.  Got a lot of this.

Gosh that darn spinner runs well, even on crappy computers.

I Have Been Re-Awarded MVP for 2013!

I am ecstatic to say that I have been re-awarded MVP for 2013.  This is a great honor and I am very glad to  to have received it.  I will admit that I didn't think I had been renewed because I didn't see my email and everyone else was shouting from the rooftops about their renewal.

Turns out the darn thing was in my spam folder.

:)

Happy New Years!
