The Pro runs regular Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit, so anything you can run on your desktop you can run on a Surface Pro. In reality though there will be limitations due to the screen size. Being used to zoom from Android it was disappointing to not being able to do that, also I don't think you want to do any video editing on it. You can do it, I just think it would be very frustrating.
On the positive side is regular USB port and mini Display Port so you can expand I it to be as functional as your desktop, something you won't find on other tablets.
