I took RT for a spin and love it. So much I think I will demo this where I work. We are a windows shop but Linux is creeping in. I try to inject Linux as much as I can. I just got our first TKL box in production today to host some dev software! 

That said, I should be able to spend some time at work on this side project. I'll post a new question in the support board on what my next steps should be.
