Microsoft
is reportedly working on a Windows 10 update for the versions of its
Surface tablet that run Windows RT, however the update will only bring
some of the functionality of Windows 10.
After the Windows 10
briefing on Wednesday, it was assumed that Windows RT is pretty much
dead, because Microsoft announced that the new Windows 10 OS is not for
Windows RT-based Surface tablets. Not just that, the Surface 2 tablet on
Microsoft official store in the US went out-of-stock
the next day, giving more fire to rumours. But a report from Cnet on
Wednesday suggests that there is still an update in the pipeline.
During
Q&A at the Next Chapter event the company had only said that it is
"working on an update for Windows RT as well." But later in a statement
to Cnet, Microsoft noted that "Surface Pro 3 (and the entire Surface Pro
lineup) will update to Windows 10. We are working on an update for [the
Windows RT version of] Surface, which will have some of the
functionality of Windows 10. More information to come." Microsoft
declined to comment further.

Last
year in
July,
Microsoft had released a test patch to fix failed automatic and user
updates from Windows RT to Windows RT 8.1, and since then, there has
been no activity from the company's side for Windows RT.
