A few big pieces of news coming down the line for Windows RT:
* Outlook 2013 On Its Way (together with Windows 8.1)
For all of the missteps Microsoft took in releasing the Surface RT and with the RT operating system in general, you've got to hand it to them for adjusting course and essentially giving away a major productivity tool to everyone who owns an RT device. Speaking of giving things away...
* Surface RT now comes with a FREE touch or type cover (limited time offer...for now)
Should have done this a long time ago. In fact, this is how the Surface should always have been sold. Its main advantage over other devices is how well it works with a keyboard to enable the user to get work done. By selling it without a keyboard, Microsoft basically handicapped their own sales efforts.
* Windows 8.1 Public Preview in June
Sounds like you'll have to reinstall any apps once the "real" version comes out, but count me still in for installing the preview when it comes out.
* Surface Mini?
Sounds like a good move: a little bit of a lighter price tag for those not ready to commit wholesale to an RT device. Not sure if users will really get the benefit of having an RT device though (in my mind: the ability to do real work on a tablet).
