CC3, FT3 and Microsoft Surface / Windows RT.

illuminatispy · January 2013

I'm considering getting a tablet computer and I'm favoring a Microsoft Surface because I'm hoping that CC3 and FT3 are compatible with Windows RT.

Are they?

Good question sir. Ralf?

Unfortunately that's a no go...
Windows RT is Windows built for ARM processors which are completely different and incompatible with x86/x64 processors (the Intel/AMD processors in 99.99% of desktop/notebook computers).
This means no application that runs under Windows will work for Windows RT, unless its source code is modified/adapted, then compiled for ARM processors (in most cases, this means rewriting most of the code, resulting in a huge effort both in human hours as well as in money).

I don't see ProFantasy porting their apps to Windows RT/ARM processors any time soon; at least not until these become a competitive enough market to justify the work required.

How about Windows 8?

I have CC3 running on Windows 8 here, no problem.

The Microsoft Surface Pro tablet which is coming soon will be running regular Windows 8 Pro on an i5 (x64 architecture) processor should work fine with CC3/FT3 (and just about every other computer program capable on running on Windows 8 on a regular computer). I am seriously thinking on getting myself one of those.
