Yeah, the RT seemed to be a weird hybrid. I actually thought it must share the app store with Windows Phone, i.e. RT is to Windows Phone as iPad is to iPhone. Was shocked things didn't work that way. The iPad can run phone/iPod touch only apps, iPad only apps or universal apps that natively support both. RT, not so much?
What niche was Microsoft trying to hit with RT?

Let's see what version 2.0 looks like before we declare it dead...

The RT? What's the big selling point? Why not go Pro or go Windows Phone? Or other competing non Microsoft device for that matter?

I can't say for certain that things (in this case useable software) will not improve for the RT. I'm assuming MS knows of this shortcoming. Time will tell but the clock just started ticking...
