Your sister is considering purchasing a tablet computer that utilizes RT as the operating system. She asks you if RT is any different from her Windows 8 desktop she has at home. What do you tell her?
A. Unlike her Windows 8 PC, RT does not have a tile-based interface.
B. RT is an Android-based operating system so it is completely different.
C. RT isn’t touch-enabled so it is a poor choice for a tablet.
D. She won’t be able to install regular Windows application on RT.
D. She won’t be able to install regular Windows application on RT.
To answer your sister's question, you can explain that Windows RT is actually a different operating system compared to the regular Windows 8 that she has on her desktop. Windows RT is specifically designed for tablets and utilizes a different architecture, which means that it cannot run regular Windows applications that are designed for the x86/x64 platform.
You can further explain that Windows RT uses ARM-based processors instead of the x86/x64 processors used in most PCs. This difference in architecture means that software is required to be specifically designed and compiled for Windows RT in order to be compatible and run on RT devices. This is why she won't be able to install regular Windows applications on an RT tablet.
In contrast, her Windows 8 desktop can run both traditional desktop applications as well as the new tile-based interface (formerly known as Metro) applications.
D. She won’t be able to install regular Windows application on RT.
