Somehow i lost a week of emails there on the list replies!
Jacque,
I just got a pro 4 from the ms store here in bethesda on loan (if you go to a 
store they now have a loaner program for up to a month to try stuff out on a 
surface for free!). i downloaded LC8 and it is running fine, about to bring 
over some lc apps this weekend to test and start trying the video playback out. 
im guessing the 32bit comes turned on and perhaps you can switch it off some 
where or not load it to save space or memory perhaps. ill poke around and see 
if i can find anything in the settings.
FYI the surface book looses the GPU if you detach the screen for mobile work so 
it basically really is back to being a surface 4 at that point for graphics 
processing (on the cpu) and it looses half the battery as well (the other half 
is in the base). you only get the larger screen.
Ive not been impressed with the surface so far, its not anything as easy as 
using an ipad as a touch device for the regular interface stuff. sure it will 
work fine with a touch designed interface, but the screen response is a little 
spotty and not very comfortable to hold as a pad unit. it feels more like 
having a laptop that you can pull off the screen but not something you want to 
carry around like that and use a lot of the time like that. it is a swiss army 
knife, useful but not always so comfortable to carry or use...
