Will it be completely app based like iOS and Android or can I put programs that a standard desktop can run onto it? That would be very tempting.

I know for certain that the Windows 8 Pro version (core i5) - can run all Windows software.

I don't quite know the limitations with Windows RT - (ARM processor version).  I'm assuming it's limited to the Metro UI marketplace apps, which will be more focused around the touchscreen.

RT will run MS office, which is very good news and might indicate future software support. 

Will this be included in the Windows division or the EDD? That is the elephant in the room my friends. Last Q results for the EDD had a pretty big increase in R&D and everybody thought this was for Xbox 3.
