Updates and improvements announced for Surface

Today, the Surface team announced a series of updates and improvements for Surface.

Some of those updates include:

· Wi-Fi connectivity - Improvements back in the March update to Surface reduced instances of “limited connectivity,” and we’ve gone further since then to minimize these events.

· New driver for the Surface USB-to-Ethernet adaptor for Surface Pro allows direct Ethernet connection to a wired network, including the ability to PXE boot (PXE stands for Preboot eXecution Environment– it means you can boot from the network).

· LifeCam update - We published an update to the LifeCam driver on Surface Pro that will enhance image clarity in low light conditions. This update also improves performance and reliability when you switch between the integrated camera and an external camera.

For a complete breakdown of the latest updates and improvements to Surface, check out Wednesday’s post over on the Surface Blog.
