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.

      So 5 months pass and no sign of another updated from John M. Sonos's incompatibility with the Microsoft ecosystem is not being improved and has only been worsened over the last year and a bit.

       They are sending a very clear message: "Anyone using Microsoft products/services: look elsewhere."

      Bought today a new Sonos system. I was aware of the missing app in the Windows Phone store. There a 3rd party apps, but the are nothing compared to the IOS or Android version and you need to pay for them. Please release a Windows Phone and RT app, so more people can enjoy the full power of the Sonos system.

      Clearly mgmt at Sonos don't care about customers. The direction the company is going in is supposedly a good one. Who for! Not consumers. The official response is always "under consideration" or we are not ready to share.    windows phone has 10% market share and yet Sonos refuses to acknowledge them as consumers, likewise surface RT users .  I  want to buy a whole range of connects and speakers but refuse too until I can actually control it with decent devices like windows phones and surface devices.

      Ditto.....very frustrating not being able to control my system from my Windows Nokia 1020 phone.  The world does NOT revolve around Apple and Android.  Come on Sonos, I don't think this would be all that difficult.  Heck, I'd even pay something for the application if you would get it out there.  How about give all of us Windows users a wonderful Christmas present????

      I am changing from an I-pad to the surface due to the fact that the apple format is not compatible with other things I need to do. It was very disappointing to find out that Sonos does not have a OS for the surface. You have a dynamite product , now please make it compatible!!
