I think the problem for Windows RT is that recent advances in processor technology have made Windows on ARM obsolete. The new Intel processors can run full Windows, don't get hot and the battery life is 8-10 hours or more. So why not get a full Windows tablet instead?

Still, the Surface RT is a great device.
