Are all the HN upvoters are retarded? This is not Surface RT. RT does not have a classic Windows Desktop environment. It only has metro.
This is a Surface Pro, which has not been released yet. Slowness is totally understandable because that guy installed an OS X on an iPad, which is the same thing as using Win8 full desktop environment on Surface RT hardware.
- rahoulb 14y agoYou are wrong. windows RT includes the desktop environment but you can't install any new apps to it - all you have is Office and Explorer. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6392/the-windows-rt-review/8 http://www.anandtech.com/show/6392/the-windows-rt-review/8 http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/23/3537710/windows-8-review http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/23/3537710/windows-8-review

- eburley 14y agoI have it in front of me and confirm that the RT does have a desktop environment with office, and if you hit window+r some other programs, like cmd, and powershell.
- hkuo 14y agoI imagine Microsoft could have a very lenient policy with its employees speaking on behalf of the company's interests, but its very dangerous territory if you don't approach it with respect and sensitivity. Personally I think it's simply best to not speak publicly on behalf of the company you work for unless its your job to do so.
