Once again, you are speaking in generalities, IT by its very nature, resists change to the point that most technology vendors are by passing IT and going straight to LOB Owners for deployment of new solutions or devices. RT may have been priced too aggressively, now with the lower price point it selling much better and is gaining traction both in the K-12 as well as the university/college segments. In your discussion about the licensing is a Red Herring. RT Office Licenses are easily converted for any customer who has an EA with Software Assurance or an Office365 E1 License. From an enterprise deployment, RT is easily managed by Windows InTune and EAS Policies, Windows 8.1 adds the ability for Workplace Join that allows for further management and security.
You have an axe to grind, you don't like Windows 8 and are unhappy with the Surface Line yet you come here day after day to express and expound on your unhappiness and disparage those who are actually happy with both, your continued characterization of the $900 million markdown, this is from the price reduction, TechEd and WPC offers, Educational Discounts as well as the launch and R&D costs. The RT is the best selling Windows Tablet despite the FUD that the Tech Pundits and IT curmudgeons contend.
As you express that your point are valid, those that run contrary to your opinions are just as valid, so as we as a community request that you heed your own advice and breathe in, breath out and chill a bit...
