So we have the names of the different versions of Windows 8. Not entirely a complete breakdown for feature someone will have/not have. Looks like "Windows RT" might be the WoA version, which I believe will come with Office (not sure if that is Arm only). Though having the OS called Windows RT and the Metro runtime/api called WinRT, is this going to cause confusion?
