| MaulerX said: The apps are coming in pretty fast. Yes, it cannot run "legacy" apps but that's not to say developers can't or won't release those same legacy apps for the metro environment. Eventually, all Windows apps will be primarily metro based. It'll be a matter of time. |
Even if I am bullish in thinking that the app store will be getting apps really fast, I still can't figure out what Windows RT is for. Why does it exist? The massive battery advantage Arm had in 2010 is next to gone. Considering that ATom based net books have been sold for 200-300 bucks for years now, I don't think there is a big price advantage for Arm over Intels atom.
What makes things worse is that Microsoft isn't allowing devs to port desktop apps to Win RT desktop. It's for Office and Ie10 only. Also the Office 2013 they provide on RT lacks features like micros, and can not be used for commercial use. So they obviously do not want this deployed for businesses.
Lastly not all apps will make it to Win RT. the Google search app which is really awesome is not made for RT for example. X86 only.
