I have worked with the Surface RT and taught a class on it. The Surface RT is an ARM based chip and it will NOT run normal Windows programs.
The Surface RT Windows 8 machine has and runs Windows 8. The normal software running on Windows 7 should run just fine on the Surface Windows 8 tablet. I am running Legacy on a normal desktop Windows 8 machine with no problems. I also run windows 8 on a MacBook Pro using Parallels with no problems. You will be fine with the Surface RT Windows 8 machine. The new version of Windows (v8.1) due out on October 17th should make Windows 8 easier to use and less transitioning from Windows 7. Good luck.
