I was playing with my colleagues Windows Surface Pro last week. It seems that the only way you can use the XY pad on the Surface Pro is with a stylus.  For whatever reason, when you're using your finger to move around, it doesn't send the application mouse drag events that it needs to track your finger's movement.  I'm sure there's something deeper reason why they did things this way but I don't know the Surface Pro well enough to say what it is.
