So you've got a Windows RT tablet of some description cos hey, they're cheap, and pretty handy for a lot of things. But there's a few things missing from Windows RT -- namely the ability to run even basic x86 programs, or Flash on non-whitelisted websites. We're here to change that, showing you how to run full Windows programs on Windows RT, among other things. Read More >>
Microsoft's promise that we'll see smaller and cheaper Windows 8 machines might be about to be made true by Acer, with leaked images showing something smaller and running Windows 8. Just like it said. Read More >>

Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop has said the company is looking to "broaden its portfolio" in the future, with the long anticipated move into tablets perhaps about to happen.

Windows RT has been hacked to allow desktop apps to run on Microsoft's ARM-based OS. The trick circumvents a setting which usually restricts ARM-based apps to Microsoft's built-in ones, so that unsigned desktop apps can also be installed. The Verge explains: Read More >>
Hooray, the Microsoft Surface just got slightly more useful. A Dropbox app for Windows 8's Metro modern UI is finally available. If you've got true Win 8 on your machine, I'm guessing you've already got the x86 Windows Dropbox app, but now you can have two. Awesome? [Windows Store] Read More >>
According to a report from The Verge, Nokia's going to out its own Windows RT tablet early next year. That's fine; it would be weirder if it didn't. But what's a little less expected is that the company's elves are hard at work on creating a keyboard cover of their very own. Read More >>
Despite it being the Surface packing the worst of Windows 8's mixed-up UI (desktop Office, really?), without the benefits of being able to, you know, actually run Windows applications, the Windows RT-packing Surface could be your perfect tablet. Maybe. Now you can actually buy one in the UK, on the High Street too. Read More >>

Lots of people have bemoaned Windows 8 for ditching the traditional start menu for the big, tile-based 'start screen'. Hell, Samsung's even bundling an app that gives you a classic start menu with new machines. But there is a start menu, of sorts, hidden within Windows 8. You just need to know where to look.

OK, it's a bit odd that the 32GB Surface actually only turns up with 16GB of space, because Windows RT takes up half of it, but suing Microsoft? Really? Why don't you just stick an SD in there and call it a day? What's wrong with you? Read More >>

So this is surprising, and kind of dumb. Microsoft just put a final figure on the storage numbers for Windows RT: 16GB on the 32GB model, and 18GB on the 64GB model. That's even bigger than the already hefty 12GB estimates that had been around before. Read More >>

This week was a Microsoft bonanza. A new operating system and new hardware means new apps. So joining the best apps of the week roster is a new batch of titles meant for RT. Inside, you'll find a lot of apps you know and love, all ready for your new Surface tablet. Read More >>
Surface was the single biggest genuine tech surprise of the year so far. Microsoft tantalised us with a tablet that made the iPad look stale. Its snap-on keyboard made all laptops look immediately old fashioned. And it promised The Future of Computers. Read More >>
