I just thought that I'd share thisfrom a Google Plus Comunaty. Acording to this ill informed person on Google Plus all tablets run Windows RT and not Windows 8 because they use Arm Processors.

+Roland Hurt +cleo williams To everyone that thinks they have Windows 8 on their tablet: apparently you guys are actually using Windows RT, not the full Windows 8. Windows 8 can't run on ARM CPU's (ie: tablets or phones), only laptops, netbooks, ultrabooks & PCs. See "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions"

That's a lie to whoever put that on Google+. I have an Acer Iconia W3-810 Windows 8 tablet, and it definitely does not have an ARM processor or Windows RT! In fact, it's sporting an Intel Atom at 1.8GHz with Windows 8.1 Pro with WMC.
