HI Ian, Nop, the story is quite a sad one: http://www.zdnet.com/the-enterprise-sideloading-story-on-windows-8-its-complicated-7000006742/
In short without Windows 8 Enterprise and buying 100 liceenses for 3000$ for deployment this is not possible. It is a pity, SurfaceRT is light and awesome for making apps that would circles around other devices but again due to wisdom of Licensing Guru it is only good for using with whatever the rest of non developer users can use it for. Is there a way to complain directly to Balmer? Windows Phone also had some issues that made it useless for development, one being that it required a user interaction to send SMS! Damned tryed to do it for a getting notifie if a customer websire is down service.
