Microsoft has locked down Windows RT so desktop apps cannot run except the first party ones they allow via Windows Update. |

Its a lockdown Issue? I thought it was an incompatibility caused by ARM support? |

Well yes if Microsoft allowed running desktop apps on Windows RT without requiring them to be signed, then an ARM version could technically be created/ported. In fact, one of the developers at XDA-Developers forum ported an older open source version of the Classic Shell Start Menu to Windows RT 8.0 when there was a hack possible to run desktop apps on it. The loophole was of course closed by Microsoft with Windows RT 8.1. |

oh, so its both  I knew ports could be made for arm, but I thought that was the primary issue.. so you can actually have classic shell on windows 8 rt if you dont upgrade, or does rt upgrade automatically?why on earth would they intentionally cripple it? if the backbone is still there anyways? |

Because they want you part of the Windows Store ecosystem. Personally, I'm not looking forward to Windows 9. |

I still use the store on my main PC, even though I have other options. Wouldn't It make more sense for them to start including non-metro programs into the store... to lol. |
