The whole RT thing sounds like a joke. Even on wikipedia there's a circular link collection on top of each of those articles, "WinRT, not to be confused with Windows RT, not to be confused with Windows Runtime, ..."

Btw, I just noticed that the old Surface is now known as PixelSense. Makes sense.



Um, no. Pixelsense is technology behind touch, gestures, and similar. Take a look at:

Yes, and something very similar used to be called Microsoft Surface (for example, see http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/web/digital-home/home...)


@pgeorgi - I was specifically responding to -- "Btw, I just noticed that the old Surface is now known as PixelSense. Makes sense."

MSFT (and other companies) have a very bad habit of circular/redundant/superfluous naming conventions.

In this case Pixelsense and the renamed Surface RT never had direct naming overlap.
