I just joined the stream. Did they specify the RT vs Win 8 differences yet?


Yes!


What are they?  I missed that part I believe

3rd Party App Situation!

So the third party app situation, out of the gate, is the biggest issue I can see with Windows RT. Obviously, with ARM processors, typical x86 legacy programs are out, so you’re forced to rely exclusively on the Windows Store for third-party applications. Within the Windows Store itself, almost all of the applications are compatible with both x86 and ARM architectures - Microsoft claims around 90% off the apps on the Windows Store at launch are compatible with both Windows 8 and Windows RT, and it appears that a lot of developers will be releasing applications on the Store for both platforms simultaneously.

Hmm, interesting.  I won't be upgrading in Windows 8 just yet but when I do just want to make sure I get ther best i can.
