Microsoft is dropping the "RT" name for a simple "Surface 2" in the new generation    



From Dailytech:

Of Microsoft's Surface family, Surface RT seems to be that uncle you try to avoid at Christmas. Now, Microsoft is saying that using "Surface RT" as a branding name was a mistake for the product.

Jack Cowett, Microsoft's product marketing manager for Surface, said that the branding name "Surface RT" was a mistake because it was confusing for customers who didn't know the difference between Surface RT and Surface Pro.
