By "Windows 8" does it mean "Windows RT?"

No. Windows 8 is the OS, not RT. You can them hey a free upgrade to 8.1. But if you do, some things won't work and you will need to go to the Lenovo site and get the 8.1 drivers because all aren't equally compatible between 8 and 8.1. For instance, my sound wasn't working properly after upgrading. I finally figured out it was the driver. Once I got the 8.1 driver, it worked perfectly again.

I use it on win 7 x64 , so I don't see any issue with windows 8, other than RT... which definitely will not run it(by design).

RT refers to the software inside, not the physical dimensions. The RT will fit perfectly.

Yes it is a full Windows, not the RT. It will run any programs for windows 8

Unlikely that it will support Win 8 RT as RT requires "special" drivers, and I don't see any Win 8 RT drivers on the ASIX website. However there may be an inbox driver that might work?

If you'll talking about Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 it might be too small knowing that Windows 8 is much thicker than the Surface RT.But you can find one just for that tablet,just make sure it says for Windows 8 Tablets.

I don't have a clue since I don't use Windows 8. With my new computer I paid a premium to get it with Windows 7.

honestly 8.1 RT is pretty lame... and NO you cant... this is off of the windows website about the major differences in rt: Some features aren't included in Windows RT 8.1: Windows Media Player Windows Media Center HomeGroup creation (you can join an existing HomeGroup but you can't create a new one) The ability to connect to your Windows RT 8.1 PC from another PC using Remote Desktop Domain Join.

The plain Surface has Windows 8 RT operating system and that is what my Dell branded tablet has, so yes it does.

I don't know. I do not have Windows 8. I hope it is as I'm sure I will have to move up to Win8 sometime.

According to Microsoft: Windows RT 8.1 includes Microsoft Office 2013 RT, so you get touch-optimized versions of Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote-right out of the box.

I'm not sure of what you're asking. What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think the Surface RT is running Windows 8.1 RT for? Fun? What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think 8.1 RT is for? Ripping people off? It's the ONLY way that Windows 8.1 can run on a tablet! Why would you ask such a question? Do we think that there's a "Special" plan by Microsoft to rip people off? SHEESH!

Windows Vista is the same way. Although I haven't tried Windows 8 yet I am afraid it may be included in this same trend.

Windows RT is not windows 8.1.So, You have to go to the Windows store and install Blockworld. The free version is all you need. The developer of Minecraft continues to snub the RT platform, so Blockworld is a competing version. A lot of people like it. Furthermore, The Surface has "lite" versions of popular X-Box games, like Halo, Need for Speed, etc. They are quite good.
