Surface Pro 3 Experience - Day 3

Today I brought the Surface Pro 3 to workplace and see how good it was as my primary work machine.

First thing I realized was that everything was so small on the screen.  Sure I could adjust the scaling, but I was disappointed to find out that 150% is too small, while 200% is too big, and there's no option between those 2.

But the biggest blow on my face was when I tried using desktop version of Remote Desktop by Microsoft. The problem is that the remote desktop screen does NOT honor the scaling setting.  Thus everything becomes so tiny tiny tiny tiny on the screen.  I tried the Windows Store version of Remote Desktop and that has the exact same problem.  With that I know that this machine won't be able to replace my regular work laptop.
