I haven't used the Surface (1 or2), but... (I'm in the hard wired camp)
There are a couple of differences in tablets in general. The type is usually smaller, yes, you can magnify but that takes a couple seconds. The screen is smaller. Then there is the whole issue of compatability. Then there is the need to adapt a keyboard, which I'm sure can be done, but now are you going to carry it around too, or have one in each room.
Then it will require wireless connection. Overall I try to avoid wireless (for security and speed), but then the whole point of a tablet is portability, thus it is mandatory for a tablet.
There are a number of folks who post here that use iPads. They work mainly through RDP or Logmein or such. Remote Desktop is "normal" desktop Windows so compatability is not usually an issue, but they do OK with the size, resolution and keyboard workarounds.
My suspicion is it that it will work, but.... (I do have an iPad, but not in the office)
