Is this Windows 8 or Windows 8 RT? Can I open *.EXE files?

Its full Windows, not windows RT. And BTW, I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 with no issues.

Windows 8. I loaded classic shell (free) so the 8 resembles the old XP versions.

John, I am a professional engineer who utilizes many differant programs from Microsoft to Cisco to Adobe Captive. I have yet to find a program that I utiized in Windows that didn't work on the Acer Iconia. The issue you may have heard regarding loading programs on Windows 8 is only specific to Windows RT. Think of Windows RT as an interface simular to an IPAD (you can only load what is in the Windows store), Windows 8 is simular to a Windows 7 machine, but also has the metro interface and Windows store abilities (a cross between a Windows PC and a Tablet interface, the best of both worlds). Hope this helps.

I have windows 8.1 currently installed with the Intel RST configured in just AHCI mode. I have not noticed any issues. IIf you are by chance using the Intel rapid store software you might make sure it is the latest version. I do not know if it affects Windows 8/8.1 but have an older MB (H77 Chipset) and older version of the Intel rapid store manager. It was giving WHS 2001 windows updates fits until I updated the RST Manager software.

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).

I have Windows 7, but on their website they have BibleWorks 9 running on Windows 8, on both tablets and personal computers. Here is the link : (http://www.bibleworks.com/content/sys-req.html). Notice the first bullet point under system requirements says "Windows XP/Vista/7/8." I know it will not run on Windows RT, but it will certainly run on Windows 8. Now, I am specifically talking about BibleWorks 9, the newest version. I would email their support team if you plan on buying an older version of BibleWorks. I hope this helps! BibleWorks is a life changing product as far as Bible study is concerned, you will not regret the purchase!

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?

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!

Yes the installation works in windows 8 but not in windows RT because it is a third party program. The program will show up as a tile on the scrolling start-up screen in windows 8 but you can add it to you desktop by right clicking and choosing open file location. You can copy the file icon and paste as a shortcut to your desktop.

Like any computer, Windows RT is one operating system and Windows, Mac OS is another. If it runs on Windows RT it is compatible.

Sorry I have no idea about it...The only thing I can tell is I don't like WIN8, so I reinstalled WIN7.

Not only can you not install real Office on an RT machine you can't even use Office 365. You are stuck with a crippled version of Home and Student. Save yourself a lot of heartache and don't buy an RT machine. ASUS makes the best Windows 8 machine available but they cannot overcome Microsoft's shortcomings.
