>Windows RT is basically just for dedicated tablets. It's for iPad competitors, basically.
i.e., the exact devices that users want software support for.
So as an ISV, do you rewrite to target Windows RT tablets or just go web app and target all tablets? You'll have to do some level of rewrite either way.
As an IT department, if you're going to give up device management to support tablets, is it preferable to be tied down to Windows-based tablets or does it make more sense to choose a solution that works on any tablet and be done with it?
That's the problem I see Microsoft facing. Sure, W8 x86 still works like before, but the tablet market is a new space where there's definite user demand and Microsoft just doesn't seem to have a good answer to it.
