Here's the conundrum with Windows RT.
I wanted a tablet where I could have more productivity on. The Android and iPad tablets just didn't do it for me. Their Microsoft Office equals just didn't feel good enough for me. So when the Surface and Windows RT was announced with Office and a fill working browser (not mobile), I was sold. I pre-ordered on day one.
Now that I own it, I often feel like I want more from it now. Sure, I enjoyed my time with my Android tablet but it never felt like a complete solution. Now with the Surface and RT, I find myself wanting a full version of Windows now rather than just RT. It is odd because I was OK with a mobile OS like Android and here we have a mobile OS in Windows RT with more productivity power yet I don't feel completely satisfied. I want to fire up one of my classic GOG games from time to time as "app store" games just don't do anything for me. I want a
little more power in some of my apps.
So perhaps it does boil down to the app Store. Yeah, there's the argument that you don't need apps but Windows RT NEEDS some quality and powerful apps. Everything seems half baked. The mal app, XBOX Music and many others just feel half way made.
At the moment, I am considering a decent touchscreen Windows 8 laptop and letting my Lumia 920 meet my mobile needs. Though I want to be patient on Windows RT but I do not see a
lot of excitement about RT thus far.
And I am a full supporter of the new "8" ecosystem...this isn't a flame post but wanted to discuss the future of Windows RT.
