Sorry for the confusion, Surface Pro is for intel/amd chips and Surface RT is for ARM chips, the Surface RT is what is going on sale now, the Surface Pro will go on sale next year from what I hear.

When the Surface Pro comes out, it will run a full version of Windows 8, which means it should run applications like Hero Lab smoothly. Note the operative word here is "should".
We don't have access to a Surface Pro, so we have no idea how well things will actually work at this point. All we have is the info Microsoft has published thus far. We'll know for sure when the Surface Pro is actually released.
Hope this helps!

Programs that run under win7 64 will work with Win8 but they will not show up properly on the tiles unless you code for it.
