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.

    It has been 5 months since an official response (which contained no details).  Can we please have an update.  There are many of us waiting for the Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone controller applications.

    With the release of the Play:1 my family bought into Sonos and happily using three Play:1's and a Play:5, excellent audio experience, flawless functionality albeit poor user interface. My house is a Windows shop, no iOS or Android devices. We have 2 Surfaces, 4 Windows Phones and a Dell Venue Pro with multiple touch PC's. I'm using a Yamaha amp for TV audio and have strongly considered a Playbar and Sub to displace it. My kids want Play:1's for their bedrooms as per Christmas requests. I'm having a hard time committing to expand Sonos in the house until I see Sonos commit to my preferred platform.

    An indication from Sonos would help defining plans for supporting a touch friendly Windows experience. The desktop experience is sub par at best and does not help paint the solution as a great experience when trying to entice friends and family to the platform.

    The last reply from Sonos is 5 months ago indicating a "good" direction, yet the status is still "under consideration". Your silence speaks volumes.

    Echo both of the above...poor technology support and neither the Play 1 or Playbar + Sub will hit my home until this support exists.
