"We're dumping RT"

That makes sense. RT - Windows on ARM - made even less sense than other NT on RISC platforms in the past. At that time, there was at least a rationale of running NT on more powerful CPUs than Pentiums, or getting Silicon Graphics software on the platform via that route.
But Windows on ARM never made sense. As it is, for the tablet market, both iOS and Android are well entrenched, and for anyone to even consider Windows there, it would have to offer a strong reason to do it. That strong reason would be the ability to run Wintel apps, which one can do on any of the Surface Pro lines. But this line hardly offers that advantage. Good of Microsoft to have finally recognized this reality.
Now, if anybody could install Cyanogenmod/Replicant on these Surface 2s, they'd be in business.
