They are essentially there, and RT was the first OS to try (successfully in my opinion) to mimic the desktop experience. I'm not worried about support as I've never relied on manufacturer support for electronics. In fact, I still haspd Windows 98 (1st Ed.) on my media server until last year when I switched to an old XP laptop to save space.
You can get a refurbished WIN Surface RT for $169. But I'd be cautious as to whether Microsoft intends to drop the RT in 2014? See article Microsoft ready to kill Windows RT.
