Buying the 32GB model and then a 64GB SDXC card could be a pretty viable solution. The inclusion of Office RT is also pretty compelling, but still, I'd rather have a Surface Pro, even if the battery life is going to suffer.
ooh i didn't know windows RT had a traditional desktop, i though it was metro only interest increased by 100%
[QUOTE=meppers;38163642]ooh i didn't know windows RT had a traditional desktop, i though it was metro only interest increased by 100%[/QUOTE] Yeah but Microsoft doesn't allow third-party apps for it
even if they did allow them, there are still no arm apps at all
[QUOTE=meppers;38163642]ooh i didn't know windows RT had a traditional desktop, i though it was metro only interest increased by 100%[/QUOTE] You cant do much on the RT desktop
For what the RT intends to do, you don't really need unlicensed 3rd party apps.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;38163780]Actually you can, there is a replacement for the win32 API, you CAN build software for the desktop on it! [editline]24th October 2012[/editline] What it doesn't have is backwards compatibility.[/QUOTE] nope, no extra desktop apps
[URL="http://youtu.be/JW1h5D-Cm4Y?t=1m25s"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jzH9l.jpg[/IMG][/URL] here are all desktop mode apps windows rt has (and that doesn't even have 'show administrative tools' enabled - there may be more).
Powershell and Command Prompt? huh
can't wait for photoshop.bat
[QUOTE=Lyoko774;38163911]Powershell and Command Prompt? huh[/QUOTE] You have pretty much all the funtionality of the old Windows in there, it's really what kind of seperates RT from the likes of Android and iOS. It's not a "full" computer, but it's closer than the others are.
Goddamn I keep being swayed back and forth between the Thinktab 2 and the Surface. Actually considering the RT now, because of the smaller price :v: [editline]24th October 2012[/editline] 479 with touch is still pretty expensive though :/
I've posted on the Windows 8 RP forums with a question; [url]http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_install/my-windows-7-installation-has-a-junction-link-for/35d36849-3c42-419b-a4f5-bea1d0788026[/url] Would any of you know?

[QUOTE=leach139;38165028]It *should*, but you might have to re-junction after upgrade.[/QUOTE] That might be an issue, because I only have about 10 GB left on my SSD.
If I spend the $40 for the upgrade to Windows 8 pro, is there a way I can get my install to format the drive? Or remove all my programs and whatnot?
[QUOTE=Lyoko774;38163911]Powershell and Command Prompt? huh[/QUOTE] What's wrong with them?
[QUOTE=GeneralSpecific;38165209]If I spend the $40 for the upgrade to Windows 8 pro, is there a way I can get my install to format the drive? Or remove all my programs and whatnot?[/QUOTE] I was wondering that too, I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm guessing you'll have to insert your current Win7 key into the site, and it gives you a windows 8 key, along with an ISO. But maybe it's like an upgrade only key or something.
Heads up: Skype for Windows 8 is now available in the store, don't have a HTTP link but it's on the front page
[QUOTE=.EDI;38165920]What's wrong with them?[/QUOTE] Just didn't expect to find them on Windows RT is all
This might be late, but... How to make [IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/e628H.png[/IMG_thumb] look like [IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/UvkgP.png[/IMG_thumb] [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?6gm2k1om15fc35b"]Here[/URL] is the download. It contains OblyTile v0.8, all needed Microsoft Office metro (modern) .png's, and instructions how to do it as well as the default system directories to save you a bit of time. :)
Aww, I can't drag-and-drop stuff into metro apps.

[QUOTE=benjgvps;38167242]Holy shit, it doesn't suck.[/QUOTE] It sucks for me. It doesn't work, it just hangs at the splash screen before saying "Oops..there was a problem"
[QUOTE=leach139;38166562]Heads up: Skype for Windows 8 is now available in the store, don't have a HTTP link but it's on the front page[/QUOTE] Skype without all the annoying crap. Awesome.
