We could go into detail as to why they screwed the pooch this round but that's just beating a dead horse and after a while its just getting blood everywhere and means an extra load of laundry. I don't think MS expected the corporate side to embrace the RT as they did or wanted to do. The enterprise was far more enthusiastic about the RT than the public ever was. A device that is on LOCK DOWN on the ability to install software is a HUGE plus for Enterprise Mamangement - now with the Join features in 8.1, Outlook RT and Gemini( granted they need to offer some sort of path to easily upgrade the H&S Office license, perhaps just sell an Enterprise RT model?). Anyway I agree with you that the RT 2 is on its way but I think The Pro2 is also on its way but not until AT LEAST March 2014. I seem to remember having this same discussion with you like 6 months ago, when most of this stuff was less clear to the consumer. Look it up, my posts on this are here somewhere.
A Surface RT 2 with a Snapdragon 8 cpu and 1080p (could we hope?) resolution with a pen would be a very compelling enterprise device. The best news for MS is that apparently no one else will be selling RT at all so they have the entire space to themselves.
