Sonar on Windows 8 tablet?

Hello all,  just wondering if anyone has tried installing and using Sonar on a Windows 8 tablet (like the Surface Pro or one of the Intel Atom powered tablets like the Dell Latitude 10)?

I have a Surface Pro also. I haven't installed SONAR directly on it yet. However, I have used remote desktop to control my main DAW running SONAR X2. It works really well for the most part, especially when using the pen. One exception is that I can't get the right-click to work in SONAR with the pen. The work around in that case is to use the trackpad on the touch cover or a wireless mouse.
For me the benefit to using it that way is that I can detach from the desktop and still have access to my full compliment of plugins. I use a low-latency wireless audio transmitter that let's me broadcast the audio from my studio. This also allows me to listen to mixes through other speaker systems in the house while still being able to tweak things remotely. I've even used it in my car in the driveway. 

BTW, this also works with other tablets, including the Windows RT-based ones.

e.B

One issue with Windows 8 and the Surface Pro (or any smaller touch screen) was that the touch did not work well when you had any screen scaling enabled.  I had to run X2 with scaling off (you can do that per app) in order to control the volume controls with touch.  Otherwise you had to use the mouse/pen for that.  Most everything else worked.  When I reported this to support (Cakewalk), they said it did not support scaling.
 
I just upgraded to Windows 8.1 RTM and I would like to report that the fixes MS did for scaling seem to have fixed this issue.  I have not tried everything yet but it certainly looks encouraging.  Sonar X2 appears to be a lot easier to use non on the smaller screen.
 
I will experiment more in the coming days and If I run into any additional issues, I will try to report them here. 
 
btw:  I will note that the Surface Pro has been one of the nicest devices I have ever had.  I have had it awhile now and I still love it.  Its small, fast, and runs in tablet and full Windows mode.  I can easily browse and watch video with touch, and then can open Sonar X2 and connect my DAW and easily place the Surface on my amp for quick access.  I also use it for as one of my development machines (sometimes remotely or connected to my new (2560x1440) 27' monitor).

Think of a tablet as an extension/addition to your desktop... not a replacement.
It's not going to have the speed to run full-scale projects (virtual instruments, dense mixes, etc).
Same with many laptops...
As long as you have reasonable performance expectations, you won't be let down.

The Surface Pro 2 with 8g of ram should be able to handle most projects though.
It's becoming pretty much a laptop now.

With an i5 mobile CPU running at 1.7GHz, the Surface Pro is fast for what it is...   
But it's nowhere close to the equivalent of a quad or hex core desktop running at 4.5GHz.
(Neither is a laptop with an i5 running at 1.7GHz)

Been thinking of getting a Surface Pro 2 for times i don't want to carry much...wondering what USB audio interfaces people are using and how they are behaving themselves? Also can one use USB hubs to connect a controller too?
