The decision to purchase a new tablet (I have never had one before) was due to my laptop's self-destruction. I have just about ever iteration of Xara since X1 and did not purchase 11 as I did not need the few new features it offered. Since others have Wacom tablets I thought I would, at least, ask if what I already owned would work on the Surface. I would guess that a new version of Xara is in development and due for release within the next few months so it probably would not be prudent to purchase 11 at this time. Thank you all for all of your advice.
