Doug,
What Hoof said! The MS Surface Tablet runs Windows RT (non-intel version of Windows 8), with only the new touch screen UI (aka 'Metro') and no access to the 'Desktop' side (aka Windows 7 and previous). Win 8 does run RDSS just fine - on a desktop computer, or tablet from other hardware vendors designed to run it.
As Hoof mentions, the upcoming Surface Pro tablet running Windows 8 Pro will access the Desktop side and then run all previous Windows programs, including RDSS. We'll have to wait until that time comes (January?) to get some hands-on feedback, at least on the Microsoft Surface tablet. There are other tablets out now running Win8 Pro.
