I was just going to say I bought a Surface 3 two weeks ago. I have Calibre on it and ITunes. I don't have any issues using desktop programs and in many cases there just isn't any app good enough in the Windows store (which is why I am using iTunes for music and video playlists)

I tend to use the Surface as a normal laptop with touch/tablet ability.
