Surface Pro Pen Driver Update

Wacom has published new drivers for the Wacom Pen included with the Surface Pro. Though Microsoft didn’t include these drivers on the updates released today the update can be downloaded directly from Wacom at http://www.wacom.com/en/support/drivers (choose tablet pc)

The update works great. As you can see on the picture above the lines line work is pretty neat and bend naturally. The only problem I found was on SAI Paint where in certain areas of the screen the cursor jumps a few inches from where its supposed to be. It seems that the jump is triggered on the applications non drawing area.

I tried reinstalling SAI Paint without any success, but I am happy to report the pen works fantastically otherwise. I don’t have a Cintiq Tablet to compare but I can only imagine that drawing on the surface now comes pretty close to a Cintiq tablet.

I’d love to know what you think.

edit 5/15/13: A way around this glitch in SAI Paint is to press tab to hide/show all tools. Use finger to make selections, it’s not optimal but it allows you to draw with no problems other wise.

It knows we want to share, and that in fact sharing can be good for Netflix too. In today’s first-quarter earnings letter (.pdf), Netflix announced a $12-a-month plan that doubles the current limit of two simultaneous video streams to four simultaneous feeds plan. Netflix says that the plan best serves large families that have butted up against the two simultaneous-stream limit. It also says that it expects less than one-percent of members to take advantage of the plan. “The core focus is on the immediate family. We don’t think there’s much going on with sharing password with a marginal acquaintance,” said David Wells, Netflix CFO during the earnings call. [MORE] Awesome! No longer will we need to take turns. 💗
