The ARM version will be running Windows RT, it won’t have access to all the legacy applications for Windows, therefore, the Yoga will have access to all the apps in Microsoft’s Store. The device is scheduled to hit the market around the time of the general availability of Windows 8, which is slated for Oct. 26.
