@BT...only if you had read my previous comment you would have known that I never said there were not two version's of window8. Surface pro runs on full fledged window8 operating system but its expensive. I even said that I would buy surface pro for $500 but not surface. I was specifically talking about trimmed down version of window which is  known as Window RT.

@:-)
I agree with you that when Iphone and Ipad first came out there were not many apps and I do expect window RT to have more apps but for now I wont pay $500 for something which is a glorified webbrowser with office. Its good that if you use office all the time but I would wait till mircsoft boast large number of apps before I consider one for myself at that price.
