    Most people will agree, Windows RT is a terrible name and doesn't really help the general public understand what it is.

    I think it would help if RT was changed to "Windows Slate". Microsoft tends to call tablets slates. So not only is this in line with Microsoft's own internal wording, but it creates an auditory pun which relates it to Windows 8 proper.

    You could call Windows RT almost anything, have a go.

    Windows Slate. Windows' late. I see what you did there. That is a zing moment. As for me, I'd call it Windows On The Go. As tablets are usually an on the go device.

    Rebrand it as Windows Office. Free ($120) MS Office is probably it's biggest selling point.

    Just "Surface". Then "Surface Pro". "Surface Phone". "Surface X" for the other products etc. My guess is the migration to this naming convention is already in motion.
