Major UK Retailers Mislabel Windows RT As Windows 8

Barence writes "Major British retailers such as Argos and Tesco are mis-selling Windows RT devices as Windows 8 PCs, PC Pro has discovered. The confusion over Microsoft's ARM-based version of Windows could lead to consumers buying the wrong machines, and the wrong software to go with them. Argos, for example, recommends Norton Mobile Security as an add-on for its mis-labelled Windows 8 machine, despite that product only working on Android and iOS."

Window RT

In an effort to avoid confusion, MS should consider renaming it to "Window RT"

No problems with Norton Mobile Security

I suspect Norton Mobile Security will not perform any worse on RT or 8 as it does on iOS or Android.

Of course Argos recommend Norton Mobile Security. The box is made of a much tougher card and helps the back of your device's display stay uptight when the hinge starts to fail.
