These are the Windows RT tablets (ARM-based). Presumably a lot of Windows x86 software won't have ARM versions, so I'm not sure these will be popular even among the Microsoft shops.
- sageikosa 14y agoCorporate road warriors that need to access the same Office systems the rest of the home-base grunts use.
- beagle3 14y agoLet's see if it's actually the same Office. The versions of Office that I got to play with on WinMobile * and WinPhone7 were not on par with Word on windows, or even OpenOffice of the time. (For all I know, it might still be the best available word processor for tablets; I have never used Apple's "Pages"; but previous versions were ... lacking)
- thornkin 14y agoThe Office apps that come with the Surface are the real deal. It's the Home and Student version according to the web site.
- beagle3 14y agoIt's Office RT, whatever that means. I tried to follow the link to the description http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/home-and-student/office-home-student-rt-preview-FX103210361.aspx http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/home-and-student/office-ho... - but on my Linux/Firefox combination, it shows nothing. Perhaps it's a silverlight thing, but the HTML is so messed up that I wasn't able to see if it was. Way to go Microsoft!
