BTW, FTAOD:

It is not permissible to abbreviate Windows RT to WinRT, as the term
WinRT means something entirely different already.
WinRT is the API and libraries to which Modern Windows apps (formerly
known as Metro) are written.
Windows RT is the ARM version of Windows 8.
These are two totally different and largely unrelated things.
As it happens, except for the bundled copy of MS Office, Windows RT
will only run WinRT apps, but the thing is that WinRT apps can also
run on x86 Windows 8. WinRT apps can be x86, x86-64 or ARM; Windows RT
apps are only permitted to be ARM code written to the WinRT API (as
opposed to Win32 apps, which are not permitted on Windows RT).
Yes, it's a stupid difference and a mistake. However, it's not my
mistake, it's MS's stupid mistake.
