Hi, everyone, can windows 8 rt run on my Sony tabled xperIa ?
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
Other than Office, which in itself raises RT to a competitive level. Plus Internet Explorer, the real Internet Explorer, allows for a browsing experience well beyond Android or iOS. I'm not ready to give up my Android tablet just yet, but Windows RT is a compelling platform.

Interesting most windows users I know don't use IE they use Firefox, so this version of IE is better than Firefox.

It is certainly superior to the Android version of Firefox, but that is obvious and really doesn't even need to be said. I have been a Firefox on windows user for 5 or 6 years now and I have made the switch back to IE. It is fast. My point was to compare the browsing experience in Windows compared to Android and iOS, and it isn't even close, but again this is so obvious it also shouldn't even need to be stated.

My question would be, "why would you want to run Windows RT on an Android tablet?"
Seriously, RT can't run regular Windows programs, has few apps of its own and no access to Android or Apple apps. Other than doing it because one can, I see no reason to even bother with Windows RT.
I never heard of windows RT, just looked it up laughed for 10 minutes realized Tom T was pulling my leg about this competing with android.
Does This Mean Microsoft Windows RT Is Dead? (MSFT)
Either you are trying to be funny or you don't understand the concept, Android is great but an OS designed for phones being scaled up to what? Compete against Windows? RT really isn't the point here, but the Metro side of Win8 allows for the best of both worlds. With Haswell here we will have Tablets that can PhotoShop but still play, I don't know, Fruit Ninja? (I guess that's what people buy Tablets for) with a device that weighs as much as an iPad and has comparable battery life. Do I think Win8 or RT directly competes with Android or iOS today? No, that's why I have and love my Galaxy Note 10.1, but by next year I am likely to have one device to carry with me that can do everything my Android Tablet can do, and in case I need to do any actual, you know, work I can do it all on that very same device. Now you might argue that everything will be done remotely soon, back to the new version of the thin client, but if so then what difference is the platform going to make? I'm in the fortunate position of possessing a number of devices, including a surface RT I got from a friend who was impressed enough with my Note 10.1 she bought one herself. It really was the stylus that attracted her, but she is very happy now. It has given me the opportunity to use an RT for some time, and although I'm not convinced this subset of Win8 will be successful, mainly for the reasons I stated, it is elegant and for people that are actually forced to get some work done from time to time it is a viable alternative. Plus, aside from the iPad, the build quality is better than pretty much anything else I've seen. As far as Firefox is concerned, I still run it on my Win7 box but Fast is Fast and if I were afraid of change I would probably still be running Netscape Navigator on my Caldera Open Linux box.
