Testing Windows RT 8.1 on the Surface RT

2013-06-27
hey guys it's Tom Warren of the verge and we're looking at Windows RT 8.1 or much less surface RT now as you can see it's pretty much the same as Windows 8.1 and so they're putting in all the similar improvements they've detail recently get the snapping side-by-side and you can adjust that like so and you've also still got the desktop mode and so it's literally still here you're not going to use the sort of traditional desktop applications but explorers here and a desktop version of ie Levin so kind of similar stuff that we've got at the moment in terms of performance it seems a little bit better at loading apps and loading web pages if we scroll through here to see it it's kind of picking up and if we open up the Xbox music application which is traditionally this was a little slow to open it's still slow to open applications and it takes a little while to sort of render them here it seems a little bit faster then I say on surface RT at the moment mostly still in beta so there could be additional improvements down the road and other than that this particular device doesn't have office on it and but most of tells us that that that won't be the case if you install it on your surface RT today just this particular one other than that pretty much the same as 8.1 and not really much much else to note and that was Windows RT 8.1 running on the Microsoft Surface RT
