Due to Windows RT being a 32 bit operating system it can only run 32 bit programs. Also it being only 32GB storage you would have to map out an external drive to install roblox on so you can still have space for other things on the tablet. The tablet its self does not have a good desktop app like windows 8 so people tend to buy the windows 8 tablets rather then the windows RT tablets. Keep in mind that most 64 bit operating systems have 2 or more cores in the processors and that they have at least 4 GB RAM. The surface has Intel Atom which is mainly a single core processor and 2 GB RAM. Windows RT takes up at least 1 GB of that RAM. The Surface 2 will have windows 8.1 rather then the dummed down windows RT with intel core i5.
For your second part. Every operating system has their own file system. For instance Windows has EXE files. In order to run a program on a diffrent operating system you need to make a another version of the program. This is the reason android can not run ios nor windows programs. For instance Android runs Apk. Andriod is based of linux mobile which has kernal portions of the linux ubuntu operating system. With every file system there is diffrent scripting. For them to make it for windows RT like they did for ios they would have to re script the whole program. Picture it like this. You speak english. You tell someone else in english how to operate for instance a car. Now someone else demands you to teach this other person how to drive a car but they can only understand french. So you need to learn french and then go through the whole process of teaching them like you did for the english person. ios is the english person and the french person is Windows RT.
They do have 32 bit versions of roblox player for windows xp, and some copies of vista. If you upgraded to windows vista or 8 from windows 2000-windows vista then you do run 32 bit roblox player. Now inorder to try it on a surface I would download it from a windows xp computer. It is very rare for windows xp to be 64 bit due to having xp come out when SATA connections were first being tested.
There is this thing called web apps. They are made in google and some websites run them. It would not be a bad idea for roblox to make a player that runs in the web browser but there would be most likely lag and other problems. Roblox in a web browser would open up many versions of linux, chrome os, firefox os, some versions of android, etc. Getting back to the whole lag thing. If you open up a video on youtube and you have to sit there and wait for it to buffer on the highest quality then you do not have an A. Faster computer and/or B. a fast enough internet connection.
The best thing for there to be if they make a Roblox player for windows RT that is a hybrid of desktop and mobile since the surface is stronger then most android devices. For andriod they should make a plain roblox mobile just like they did for ios. |

| Arm based processors can not handle the load its not the programming that locks .EXE's its simply the hardware can't handle it. The processors are low power consumption to prevent fast low power. ROBLOX Corp. Needs to make a app for windows RT |

so you don't buy a tablet PC capable of playing battlefield 3 in a 10.6 inch console with a 1920x1080 screen because of apple fanboys?
how affectionate and precise. |

| I have a Windows RT and when I try to download ROBLOX, it says that I can only find apps in the Windows Store. ROBLOX just needs to make an app in the Windows store. Then, everybody would live happily ever after. C: |

When you think about it they released roblox for IPad and it has the same storage and capability's as the Microsoft Surface 1 and 2. And the IPad is even harder to control your roblox guy. SO ACTUALLY THERES NOTHING STOPPING THEM MAKING IT FOR THE SURFACE!!!!!!!!!!
