bobarnett071045 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I recently purchased a Microsoft Surface tablet with Windows RT 8.1 OS. Has anyone had any experience using BitTorrent Sync with this device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Windows RT is somewhat limited, in that you can't natively install and run non-Microsoft apps - including Sync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merba09 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Sorry about the kind of old thread.But just wanted to clear something up. Windows RT is no more limited than iPads.... a lot less limited I would say... you can install "non Microsoft apps" they just have to exist to start with. Bit torrent just hasn't published an app for this Operating system.there are thousands of "non Microsoft apps" on the windows store.. just no Bittorrent sync ones....

piotrnik Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I believe GreatMarko meant "limited" as in "not able to install non-windows store (ie MS approved) programs." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Indeed! @all, there's a dedicated thread over in the Feature Request forums for requesting Windows RT support. Therefore, if you wish to be able to use Sync on your RT device, I'd suggest adding your voice to that thread. As you can probably appreciate, there are a number of platforms/OS's that Sync presently isn't available for (i.e. Blackberry, Chrome OS, Firefox OS, Windows RT, MIPS, etc). The likelihood of Sync eventually becoming available for these more minor platforms/OS's at some stage in the future will depend upon a number of factors including each platform/OS's global popularity, the number of requests for such platform/OS support in the Feature Request forum, and the technical feasibility of implementing Sync on these platforms, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
