I'd buy a Surface if Sublime Text 2 were cross compiled for ARM. edit: I'm also a bit confused, the XDA thread seems to imply that a user could side load an RT app that would launch an unchecked application [1]... meaning some sort of side-loadable RT app that could springboard a launcher for other ARM compiled apps. Ironically there could be a community package manager and accompanying RT app and beat MS to the punch (if they were ever to go in that direction which is arguable) edit2: Ah, a bit later in the thread it's revealed that the resulting cmd prompt still runs from the RT apps context, with its limitations and lifespan. [1] That presumably would be killed/revoked from the Store and/or would never pass verification)
