Major UK Retailers Mislabel Windows RT As Windows 8

Posted by timothy on from the seriously-what's-the-difference dept.

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."

    You can mod me to Troll all you want, but the fact is, they still suck, both of them. Forcing someone to use either should be considered torture and therefore disallowed by the Geneva conventions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Conventions
