Yes, but it's also neutered in other areas. It may have the desktop but it's still locked down. http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/windows-8-vs-windows-rt-whats-the-difference-1086980

VS2012 is not a legacy application. Windows is not moving entirely over to ARM. VS2012 is new for Windows 8. I honestly can't see VS2014 running on WinRT/ARM. But I guess time will tell.

Ok, looked it up and it was changed, Touche. But then theres still that pesky requirement of ARM Enables apps. Which means theres still few apps for the Windows RT Desktop.

Then get an Android.

And a MUCH MUCH bigger App market.

No, It is Windows RT. Not Windows 8. Windows RT is limited to Metro only apps, and even some of those are limited based on other criteria. Its not like on this 500$ tablet you can load up VS 2012 and do some work. You can't.

I'm moving my Macbook Pro 2008 to the position of a server while I get fix an Envy 14 Beats edition i've been sitting on for months. I'm gaining a better GPU, Resolution and more. While still being able to SSH into my Macbook Pro server and…

A liberal answer I agree with.. The guy was seeing a mental health professional but was still able to get all that weaponry? He could get it anyway's and even if he didn't there are worse weapons he could have made. But the point is that mental health is an issue in this country and should be addressed, as is the…

Good, some third party docks can come into play on the cheap.

So uh.. What about the guys wife.. She stick around?

Come On HP. Get your act together.. it doesn't take a rocket scientist... You website sucks, its unintuitive, dark, and difficult to navigate. Doesn't even bring out the lines in your laptops.. Your "high-end" laptops can't even bring a good GPU to the table. I'm trying hard.. I want to love you... Bring about a good…

Quite a bit. Any tablet I have is docked and the lockscreen can provide valuable info. But then again.. i'd want a real tablet so i'd just root/rom the kindle fire anyways.

HEY TO THE YES. Come to America!

Jquery Mobile automatically defaults to the -webkit-overflow scrolling method. Thats why its butter smooth =D

Someone after my own heart..

WHAT THE.

Yes, whats appeared to happened is they've dropped much of the un-needed Javascript, Changed the scrolling to a more fluid (i think -webkit-overflow based scroll) and then enabled precaching where they're loading JUST the data as opposed to the whole page.
