Rui, first: I did not state the Surface RT has Windows 8, or dit I? second: Are you calling me a liar when I am saying the Microsoft Surface RT tablet I spend some time with has no Narrator i.e. no accessibility on board whatsoever? Then you better check your resources, cause I am very very sure it did. and I am so sure cause the Surface Pro wasn't even available over here at that time. If you wish to disagree, that's okay, but I aint' gonna play yes or no for it. regards, Ronald
