I mean, the OS itself really isn't that bad, meant for ARM devices etc. You know that when you buy a RT surface. I wonder if it will get windows 10 or something? Just saying: -Multitasking: awesome, just great with the split screen - Media consumption: Great too with that screen and the speakers - Productivity: amazing, straight out beats the iPad and Nexus 7's - Apps: not much, horrible, but they have the essential and mainstream apps, everything else is available via Web browser Some people don't have the slightest idea of what defines 'a good OS' Yes, it can't run legacy apps, but so can't Android and IOS. Why does RT suffer this as a disadvantage and the other 2 don't? Productivity has the surface up there now the top. Battery life is excellent. Some people blindly jump on the hate bandwagon. The only argument I see is : No apps That's it, That is the only disadvantage? I would take it any day So yeah, you can hate all day but at then of the day it obliterates IOS and Android in some aspects

Only inexpensive components will be used, with CPUs and memory dominated by ARM designs. The market will overflow with affordable laptops and tablets that run Windows 8.1 or 10.

It's fairly acceptable—it improves battery life, reduces weight since it doesn't require an Intel processor. It works well for word processing, media use, and multitasking. While not essential for me, it doesn't pose a significant virus risk.

They don’t produce anything related to RT and arm.

It's a modified version of Windows that many people encounter when purchasing a Surface 2, often leading to confusion later on. I think it makes sense to phase it out or rebrand it—something like Windows Tablet or similar.

They’re responsible for not doing enough research on the product, but it remains useful for school.
