    I think we have gotten our answer by now.

    I wish there was more that the average consumers could do to get back at these big corporations for their greedy decisions and lack of pride for their products.

    I  concur  with  all  posts  supporting  a  Microsoft  Edge  browser  for  the  Windows  8.1 RT O/S.  Better  yet  give  us  an  upgrade path to  Windows  10  on  ARM  O/S. Another  option  Microsoft  can  give  to  their  loyal Microsoft  Surface  RT  users  is  give us  a  just  trade-in  value  to  upgrade   for  one  of  the  newer Surface  tablets. I  am  one  of those  early  adopters  that purchased  three (3) Surface  RT  tablets  for my  family  of  five  (5) back in  2012/2013. Microsoft  should  reward  our loyalty  and  support

    Microsoft's Surface RT swindle. Microsoft promoted RT as more secure. Mictosoft RT blocks neccesary software. Microsoft doesnt allow Firefox or Chrome. Microsoft changed the address of the Windows store to block Surface RT users from software. Microsoft Skydrive Onedrive apart from trying to extort users for paid Onedrive. Microsoft made Onedrive free for Surface RT users. Microsoft trapped Surface RT users and reduced the Onedrive size to force us to buy Onedrive which was free as part of the Surface RT offer.

    Don't get me started on Windows Mobile. Microsoft repeatedly screwed mobile phone users. Microsoft abandoned mobile phone users no less than four times. Microsoft conduct was the cause of their losses in the mobile phone market. Microsoft bought Nokia and wrecked Nokia. Microsoft gained nothing from wrecking Nokia. Four Microsoff phones later from Windows Mobile to Windows 10 Mobile any Microsoft phone is bad news

    Microsoft is not the reliable honorable innovator company they pretend to be in their advertising.

    Microsoft has always had a poor reputation for long term support of their less popular formats, and RT is just such an example.

    The latest versions of surface including the ARM based surface pro x suffers from these failures already with no support or emulator for 64bit which was promised months back but is still not available.

    So i think that expecting any kind of support for our RT devices is at best unlikely to be forthcoming.

    We all purchase these devices and expect support but if its from Microsoft dont hold your breath.

    RT is yet another failed Microsoft venture and im sure there will be many more as long as we support them by buying these products and allowing them to profit from their failures
