This is not a full windows 8 platform but will work new surface tablet and Samsung and others plan to use this OS which is not fully windows 8 compatible. It would be very helpful if sonos would support this as the tablet looks promising.

    I also think it is about time for Sonos to show some Progress on this subject. We now have 5 Win8 RT/WP8 devices and 5 Sonos Zones in the house so we need the Sonos controller now.

    I'm moving into a new house and would like to cover the entire house with music. Sonos is on the top of my list but the lack of a controller for our 3 windows platform devices(2 surfaces + 1 windows Phone) is making me research other options.

    Please, make it happen. WP8 and Win8 RT are no longer gadgets now. Please don't leave the door open to competitors. I love Sonos, but my control experience is poor at the moment.

    I come on here every couple of months hoping beyond hope that there will be an update but no. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO AKE A DECISSION? Its not very "agile" if it takes this long to make a decision on you customers most requested feature. Its not like it would take much investment in time or money. Its very poor that there is not more information coming from Sonos Re the most requested feature on their own website. Again, as others have put. If you have a windows laptop, desktop, tablet, phone or use Xbox Music look elsewhere for your music solution. In fact, if you want any kind of service or communication at all, I would look elsewhere.

    Come on guys, if you have money for multiple Sonos devices, you certainly have $1.50 left for this app: http://www.phonos.org/windows/ It runs on both Win 8 and RT, and no, I am not affiliated with it. I know it is a shame that Sonos haven't created one of their own yet, but why wait and whine?

    Except that Phonos doesn't currently perform all the functions, I use it on my Windows Phone but can't get it to work on the Surface RT despite advice from their support team. I know people who have stopped using their Sonos system entirely because of it's lack of usability, I have a wife who can't understand why i've spent so much on a system which is such a pain in the ar$e to use. I'd love a play bar for my TV system and another Sonos for my dining room but there's just no point. Meanwhile Sonos fiddle while Rome burns...

    Its fine and I use it a lot but its not what you would call fully featured. And its only on Windows Phone not windows 8 or windows Rt. I have been talking to some windows devs today and some Microsoft employees and they were telling me that a port of the existing app should be "trivial".
