Haven't had any disconnect issues on my Surface pro, but I've mainly been in HiPath (Enterasys). Haven't ventured out to the rest of campus where it is Cisco or Aruba. I do remember reading about wireless issues that affected a small number of Pros before I purchased mine.

My Mac Air WiFi worked perfectly with our Aruba AP throughout the exercise. His would connect, get DHCP, get a lease renewal in five min (ten min lease) and a few minutes later Windows would tell him he had "limited" Internet, but in fact he could only ping his own IP and not the router (that's pretty limited!). The WiFi bars icon never wavered. I'm suspecting a failure to renegotiate keys. Anyone else seeing Surface WiFi issues?
