Here's the problem ... Microsoft has been "making hay" for years over the fact that Windows is required to run
certain "standard" applications, that's why it's supposedly "superior" to Linux (or so the argument goes). So is it the fault of Surface RT buyers that they expect a Microsoft product to be compatible with Windows applications?
If you can't get the
specific Windows apps you expect on a Windows machine, what's the advantage of the Surface RT over an Android, or an iPad or a Chromebook? After all these also come with the "abstract
concept of apps." And, with the iPad and Android tablets there are many, many more and many more polished apps than with the Surface RT.
