Cloud Scalability Patterns with Matt Johnson

I have been super curious about the Surface Book and its ability to handle three of the most taxing scenarios modern machines deal with: gaming, creative work, and development. In this video we set out to see how the Surface Book measures up to tasks traditionally reserved for the desktop.
I was completely blown away with how complete the device seemed and am actively looking for a way to get my hands on one. Enjoy!
I absolutely love my Surface Book I use it for projects agreement work, SharePoint development, photo editing, studying, and gaming FFXIV
How can these guys say this stuff with a straight face? I mean, I was sold just like everyone else after watching the launch presentation, but the reality is this thing was (and still is) not ready for professional use. It's just too unreliable.
My Surface Book has been a buggy, unreliable, expensive nightmare. SOOOOO BUGGY! I appreciate the updates they've released so far (fixed the screen flickering and the CONSTANT GPU crashes), but I seriously can't believe you guys launched it in the broken state it's (STILL) in.
Just listening to this video has me yelling at the screen... Where to start...
Your Windows Imaging Dev team you mentioned did a piss poor job (and from the sound of it... they had ONE JOB!?!). Half the Surface Books that shipped booted up to an "Other User" login prompt instead of the normal set up wizard leading many of us to wonder if we were shipped a used unit. NEVER seen that happen on ANY new laptop. Except this one (which Microsoft made themselves). The image also included a broken NVIDIA 3D shortcut icon on the desktop for no discernable reason.
Then you have this "Gaming Guy" at Surface who hasn't updated the NVIDIA drivers to ones that can play Star Wars Battlefront yet. The drivers you shipped were already months old when the device launched, and still haven't been updated 2 months later... AND YOU'VE BLOCKED US FROM INSTALLING REGULAR NVIDIA DRIVER UPDATES.... WHY?!?!
Open Surface Book Bugs that STILL need to be fixed as of 12/17/2015:
@BTCrow: hey BTCrow, sorry to hear about your experience with Surface Book. This is not what we want people to experience. I would like to investigate it. How about you send me a direct email and we can take a deeper look on what's going on? milada@microsoft.com.
@BTCrow: Unfortunately I can only report on what I experienced while there (hence the straight face). In the scenarios we tested everything was great. Thanks for the feedback!
Good episode, thanks.
