Will Logos 5 work on Windows 8 RT?

Dan

I am considering the purchase of a Microsoft Surface tablet and whether Logos will run on it is a major consideration.

Logos 4/5 will work with Windows 8 on a MS Surface Pro tablet or PC but not with MS Surface RT; which runs apps from Windows Store rather like ioS or Android.

Nothing works on Windows 8 RT - not even Microsoft applications properly.

UPDATE:

Actually to be clear it depends upon what Logos you are talking about. If you mean the 'tablet version' of Logos like for the iPad etc. then it is likely that Logos will make a version for Windows 8 RT and submit it to the Microsoft store (whatever it is called).

If you are thinking of running full Logos 5 on a Windows 8 tablet (RT or otherwise) I would say spare yourself the pain.

There is a Logos app in the Windows App store that's designed for the metro interface. It's very basic (even more basic than the Android version and biblia.com), but it is there. It currently won't run on ARM devices like the Surface, although it should soon. You can expect to see more development on it, but it will never be as powerful as desktop Logos. In my opinion (which is pure speculation), I would think it would be a year or so before you see the RT app even get close to parity with iOS or Android.

I thought it would be good to have something extremely portable with a decent keyboard to do research with in the theology library. I am hoping that Logos has an ARM version soon so this dream can become reality. There is no way I would attempt to run a full Logos install on a tablet. It can crush my i7 laptop at times when indexing. I couldn't imaging how poor it would perform on something with computing power equivalent to a Pentium III with 1/4 the memory.
