I would argue that plenty of people want a full-featured version of Office on a tablet. Especially one with a useable keyboard.

- cryptoz 14y agoI completely agree about it being full featured! I think nearly everyone on the planet wants that. There's no reason to remove features based on it being on a tablet, but there's plenty of reason to change the UI to make the buttons easier to touch. From the video review in The Verge of the Surface RT a little while ago, it looks like Office on the tablet has exactly the same Save dialog, for example, as desktop. How on Earth are you supposed to navigate that with your fingers? Tiny little buttons, changing the folder tree, etc. It looks absolutely miserable.
- watmough 14y agoIt might have been cool 4 years ago. But these days, those tin dialogs and buttons are a joke. Heck, I've been bitching about non-resizable dialogs in Office for years.
- Metrop0218 14y agoThey actually switched the Office interface into a 'touch friendly' mode that spaces out the buttons quite a bit more to avoid missed touches. Speaking as a Surface user, this works but is definitely missing some elegance.
