a focus is Rusted the verge we're here live at ethos 2012 in Berlin and we're checking out the Samsung ativ tab more importantly however what we're looking at is a build 9200 the final build of Windows RT something we haven't really got a chance to look at so we're gonna kind of dive into the menu get some more details see what's actually different between this and kind of the classic x86 Windows 8 version ourselves you can see we have a pretty much standard Start menu we can go to the desktop mode still a little file explorer it's the same as you've seen in the x86 version in fact you can kind of push down you can still make folders you can still access files really quickly it can rename and of course you got a pop of the menu touch keyboard there we go obviously you can see this it's not entirely optimized for a touch experience a lot of what you're gonna see in the desktop mode it's still better cater a better suited for a keyboard and mouse but it is there alright thank City apps to get the basic apps you've got the Microsoft Office we'll go back to the next second and then you got your Windows accessories your notepads your paints and unfortunately for that for notepad it's basically that all the standard x86 mode you go with the classic mode you can still you know test I know Auto crack and that goes the same for Microsoft Office 2013 we're looking at the preview versions right now so if we go to excel right here make a new work new excel sheet you know and do my taxes and make charts and stuff it's still somewhat more touch friendly I also get these minis that cut come up and kind of use these easy to touch the most part just get a little unwieldy here unfortunately like I'm not going to be able to very easily push my way to print of you it's it's an imperfect mode clearly this is still more optimized for a keyboard and mouse as with everything in kind of the desktop mode if you hold your finger down you can get over to the screen resolution hope that's personalization again like I said the touch menus are really not suitable for touch get down there beautiful okay wonderful so as you can see the resolution is 1366 by 768 nothing we can change on this hardware we need to check us on the other ones one of the very few windows RT models we've actually middle C thus far orientation we can change portrait we can flick landscape from here see if I can do this okay there we go so just keep changes no accelerometer it's not going to change on its own I dear God hope there's an easier way doing it but right now it looks like the one option is to go to a very tiny menu it's a very tiny portrait thing okay there we go and keep changes all right much better crisis over everyone we are back in normal mode okay so now if you actually go into settings it's actually you know you won't change your PC settings you get the ones called Metro now just windows 8 UI design or whatever settings with your personalization nothing too serious or detailed here if you want to do that you go to all apps gets like control panel unfortunately though once he gets the more nuanced settings you were back in classic mode which again not very touch friendly with you have very small fingers there is no stylus support towards the digital stylus for this one and we haven't heard of a model that's really doing that just yet for the RT version so basically that is Windows RT as far as we can tell build 9200 the final version this isn't test mode however first you very similar to Windows 8 of course obviously the x86 classic programs will not work and if you're going to do anything sudo series in the classic desktop mode you're going to need a keyboard and you're going to need to find a mouse you
