Evertith has the explaination exactly right. And it is not simple to port ever application to the ARM (RT) platform. If it was Microsoft would have included Outlook in their Office applications for the RT. they did not.

Hey Joe,

right.

What is your signature about? Gedanken Experiment? This is German? I would put it in one word only. Gedankenexperiment. Interesting

You are exactly right (of course). It normally is one word. I just split it because it "flows" better in a sig. ;P

Is there a physical outside difference between the RT and Pro? What does rt stand for?

RT = Runtime

Well don't be a dick. As a matter of fact, RT in the context of Surface does not stand for runtime. It more than likely stands for nothing. Just catchy. See linked Wikipedia article. Note the third line of text.
