If you are RIGHT, we should remind others that they must purchase a Microsoft Windows 8/8.1 Tablet rather than a Microsoft Windows 8 RT or 8.1RT Tablet primarily because the apps offered and available and the accessibility available differs between Microsoft Windows 8/8.1 RT and Microsoft Windows 8/8.1 PRO. If I am WRONG, feel free to correct this EMAIL for the members on this list.

The only difference will be the availability of apps offered. I LOOK Forward to the Freedom to CHOOSE any Mobile PlatForm How 'bout anybody else??? Just Wondering.
