Surface RT tablets getting Windows 8.1 RT Update 3 in September

[YamiYukiSenpai]

Microsoft said, “We are working on an update for Surface, which will have some of the functionality of Windows 10. More information to come”.

 

Why can't Microsoft just update Windows RT devices to Windows 10 Mobile?  Windows 8.1 RT Update 3 pretty much shows that Microsoft doesn't care about them after the update.

Why would they care? How many did they sell? like 3?

I feel bad for RT users, it's literally useless. I bought my pro a while back and the marketpace still isn't too great.

I had one. Its not useless. It can do anything regular Windows can do except run 3rd-party desktop apps because it was for ARM architecture. But any Windows-included desktop app would run like Remote Desktop Connection, Wordpad, Notepad, Calc, Task Manager, it had a desktop and File Explorer, etc. It could also run desktop version of Office which came included. It could run desktop or Metro version of Internet Explorer which had Flash built-in so that wasn't a problem. Store Apps were lacking but it had all the big ones like Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, etc.

Those apps sucked major balls and still do.

Worked fine for me. Its okay though I'm not here to change your opinion.

I stil have my Surface RT and the thing it really seem to be good at is just reading. The screen isn't that great but the 16:9 aspect ration makes portrait mode reading quite good. 

I have used it for a year in my last year of high school though. The inclusion of Word made it perfect for a simple school machine.
