"However traditional desktop software cannot be compiled for or installed on Windows RT."

What you meant to say that existing Windows apps cannot be installed or run on Windows RT. Technically they can be compiled to ARM, but there is no way you can install them. And Windows RT cannot emulate x86.

I don't mean to be that guy but it's called Windows Marketplace not Windows App Store.

No, it's called the Windows Store
