's review of the Surface RT tablet. In short
Microsoft will need to clearly explain that Windows RT is a mobile OS that shares the same skin as Windows 8
But is not a fully capable PC. It cannot run the same desktop programs as full Windows 8
Only apps

Easy and fast one-handed task switching
Touch screen controls are accessible by swiping the screen edges for v

The missing Start menu will drive some people nuts
Overly aggressive when it comes to selling apps and content
Some aspects of the OS are unnecessarily confusing
Unfamiliar and sometimes unintuitive interface navigation. Few tablet apps compared with competing platforms. Two separate control panels and browsers could cause confusion
Some functions are scattered
Win8 versus Win7 line is very strict
Laptops with small/poor trackpads will suffer immensely
Upgrading proves far easier that setting Win8 up brand new
People easily frustrated by change will have problems here
Windows Store is still relatively low on apps. Ambiguity between x86 and Windows Store apps in Microsoft messaging and when pinned on Start Screen. Windows 8 will take effort to get used to

Frustrating to use with a mouse
Limited selection in Windows Store
Metro and the desktop have been forced to coexist and it shows. UI changes can add to confusion. No Start button makes no sense. OS has yet to prove itself on the tablet market with further hardware and software support.
