The more I think about it, the more I'm reasonably convinced that Windows RT is a waste -- at least today. It will not run existing Windows applications and the number and diversity of apps in the Microsoft store is... almost non-existant compared to Android and iPxxx.

The one thing we don't know about WinRT is what Microsoft's plans are for it. I am willing to bet this becomes their embedded OS, and could even be aimed at ultimately replacing Windows as we know it.
Microsoft had a lot of success with CE in embedded devices in industrial and retail applications. Most people don't realize this.

I don't know about replacing Windows on the desktop, but I do expect
it to merge with Windows x Phone.
