Hey Microsoft, Surface 2 is great, but clear up something please

Surface 2 is a stellar piece of hardware, but Microsoft needs to be more open about where RT is headed.

(Credit: Microsoft) It might be a good idea now for Microsoft to be more public about the direction of its tablet operating system so consumers know what they're buying into.
I like the Surface 2 and the Nokia Lumia 2520. A lot. As hardware, they're two of the best tablets out there. Bar none (including iPads).

But Windows RT, as it stands now, is in no-man's-land. It's not the Windows 8.1 that comes on PCs and it's not Windows Phone 8.
And it's been that way too long -- since October 2012.
So far, the closest Microsoft has come to saying anything about what will become of RT are comments from Microsoft's head of devices, Julie Larson-Green, back in November.
