If you are good with Linux, AdvancedHMI will run on Linux with Mono

I even have installed Visual Studio on my Surface and do application development with it.

Post by: Archie on February 02, 2015, 11:48:31 AM: I personally use Visual Studio 2013 Pro on my Surface Pro 2. However I recommend using the Visual Studio Community Edition. It is the close equivalent to 2013 Pro and it is a free edition:

Any comments plz
Title: Re: Wireless Devices
Post by: Archie on March 10, 2015, 06:31:29 PM: I've got a new tablet coming this week that has Windows 8.1. I will see if I can figure out how to disable the charms fly out.

BTW, I actually found a sub-$100 tablet based on the new Atom SoC and Windows 8.1 Bing. If this works well, it will open some good possibilities for AdvancedHMI.

i have also test this tablet Acer 8" tablet W1-810-17FE
and its cheap in the market after you have advised me, as long as the tablet is full windows version.
i have tried and it works perfect.

but i have seen 1 problem this tablet if the hibernate mode option is not disabled the program crashes.
i have disabled it and works perfect.
or if the display option is active also i got this problem.

that is my experience i have seen since i came this field.

any comments about using the AdvancedHMI will be welcomed regarding windows 8 and what ever.

thanks alot
