I see it as an over reaction with people spreading bad news like the Mayans are changing world ending dates. Now everyone agrees that its popular to talk about how bad Windows 8 is and what the next End of World date is, but those people have not experienced at least one of those and more likely neither. Windows RT is store apps and Pro is store apps plus traditional apps. Naysayers... pffst! I'll stick to my nice Windows 8 Pro install because its pretty bad ass!
