Recent estimations put Microsoft (MSFT -0.37%) Windows RT selling at an anemic rate of only 50,000 units per month. For a company the size of Microsoft, this is doing next to nothing to its bottom line, not to mention it's tarnishing the Windows 8 franchise with added confusion for consumers.

In the video, Motley Fool contributor Steve Heller discusses why he believes Windows RT needs to die and where he wants Microsoft to focus its efforts.
