          In 1986 IBM released the 6150 RT computer. RT = Risc Technology.

          Is Microsoft catching up after 26 years ?

              You read the comments on the El Reg article and I claim my fiver thirty bob.

              I liked the Runaway Train one myself.

              Youtube has definitely gone downhill. A few weeks ago I came up with a vast array of choices of videos for "The Runaway Train Came Down The Track As She Blew", but this is the only one I can find now:

              Could it be something to do with sacking my Google Plus account and not using Google anymore?

                    For those of us who sell programs it's another damn OS to be purchased to ensure they still work. Maybe it stands for Re Test.

                      Windows RT is the ARM tablet version, so that won't be a problem. Your software won't work. So perhaps it should be ReTire whilst you have the chance.
