Microsoft News | Hack allows Windows RT tablets to run unsigned non-Windows Store apps
I posted this here but it applies to any Windows RT tablet.
This proves that there is very little difference between Windows RT and Windows 8 as enabling this hack will allow you to run desktop apps on Windows RT. I guess Microsoft purposely removed this capability from ARM RT tablets to help with battery life etc...
Edit: This is the actual blog post with the instructions: http://surfsec.wordpress.com/2013/01/06/circumventing-windows-rts-code-integrity-mechanism/
Excerpt: "Windows RT is a clean port of Windows 8. They are the same thing and MSFT enforces Code Integrity to artificially separate these platforms."
