Just tried SABnzbd on a Surface RT tablet (a friends) to see if I could bypass using a PC for my UseNet'ing. Sadly though it won't install. Is there any thoughts to supporting Surface RT? I don't want to have to wait / pay for the Surface PRO in Jan. Thanks.

None, since Python (our programming language), par2 and unrar are
not available for that platform.

Let me add to that: RT programs can only be distributed through Microsoft's App Store.
It's not very likely that they will ever approve SABnzbd.

okay. so i'll wait for the Surface PRO then as my understanding is it'll be a full Win8 OS with normal EXE support. Thanks again.
