Microsoft patches Windows RT Surface to speed up apps, plug security holes

Is your shiny new Microsoft (MSFT) Surface RT tablet running a little slow? Microsoft on Wednesday released the first update to the Surface RT tablet that patches Windows RT, improves app launching speed and plugs several security exploits. The Verge reports that its Surface RT tablet received a total of seven updates to Windows RT and noticed apps opened about two seconds faster after installation, but also noted that an audio bug that’s affected some customers hasn’t been resolved in the updates. BGR reviewed the Surface RT tablet and deemed it a beautiful piece of kit that sets the bar high for OEMs to follow suit with their own Windows RT tablets.
