I kind of wish Cisco would release an An圜onnect VPN client for use on the "jailbroken" RT devices just to prove their point, but I'm sure Microsoft would be pretty mad if they did that. Where does one have to post about this to get Microsoft to actually listen?

If Microsoft had released Windows 8 ARM Edition instead of the artificially limited Windows RT we got instead we would have had a VPN client long ago, and a much better OS to boot. the APIs are already all present in the OS, just restricted to use by Microsoft only. This whole situation could have been resolved a long time ago, but Microsoft'sĬontinued insistence on restricting third-party developer access to any API other WinRT in Windows RT has prevented it and is beyond frustrating. I've run across many threads like this on the regular community forum, and the above statement from Cisco is what I've suspected all along.
Customers who want this functionality should contact Microsoft to express their interest. There are no APIs provided in the operating system to provide this functionality. Not sure how this can be marked as answered.Īn圜onnect is not supported on Windows RT. "Meanwhile,please check if the Cisco An圜onnect client is compatibility with windos 8.1." Let's go Microsoft! Get with Cisco and at least get the VPN client done! The only thing that would also be on my wish list would be an RT version of Visual Studio Express. I enjoy my device from a personal standpoint, but the ability to connect from anywhere would take this device to the next level. My enterprise only supports An圜onnect as well. I have a Surface 2, and I really love it, but I am leaning toward returning it because The tools accessible in RT via the administrative and system functionality built into the OS give tech professionals power that can't be offered by iOS or Android. They have loyal customers that have bought into the RT platform, and with rumors swirling about it's eminent demise, an An圜onnect client would take the platform to a new level from an enterprise
With that said, I believe Microsoft needs to get this solved.

They don't care about their customers, and will tell you to purchase an Android or iPad - not realizing the functionality gained by using a Surface. We don't see WebEx Connect or any other client tied to their existing services.
I feel the issue lies more with Cisco than Microsoft due to the fact that we don't see ONE Cisco app in the Microsoft Store. I must agree with on this one. The back and forth between Cisco and Microsoft on this issue is absolutely senseless.
