Perceptive Pixel is one of the main functions of the display supports the Active Stylus stylus; write on the big screen when Active Stylus can provide sub-pixel accuracy. Powerful Windows Active Stylus with handwriting recognition 8 combined together, it is no wonder that the gates can respond so quickly on the AMA.

Windows RT does not run a traditional desktop applications, so users have access to only a limited number of Windows application Store, make people feel helpless. But this may soon change, through the escape method to change this situation.

One of XDA developers has released a escape tool lets users run Windows on RT all X86 programs. Of course, this is not a regular method, essentially you’re Windows RT simulation in a X86 environment, so the application won’t run directly on your computer. The developers noted that he is only testing this tool only with a portion of the program, including the 7Zip,Winrar and the heroes of might and Magic (Heroes of Might&Magic), you can watch the video above.
