I believe Surface RT and Office for Windows RT are great products, I just wish they had a better licensing strategy.

The worst part about Surface RT and Office for Windows RT is the restriction on commercial use by the End User License Agreements (EULA). (Without additional licensing costs)

blogs.technet.com/.../q-amp-a-how-do-i-license-office-rt-for-commercial-use.aspx

In my opinion this is one of the top reasons Surface RT and by proxy Office for Windows RT is perhaps not selling as well as it should, only second to the wait and see attitude of many customers anticipating the release of Surface Pro.

Don't get me wrong, I have taken many trips to the local Microsoft store in Overland Park, KS and love the surface and office experience, but like many of my colleagues I walk out of the store empty handed because I don’t want to buy something only to regret it after the release of surface pro. Than again probably by the time Surface Pro is released, other tablets / ultrabooks will render it irrelevant.

Just wondering....

On the Office RT page

office.microsoft.com/.../office-home-student-rt-preview-FX103210361.aspx

...you write the following:

"Word only

Grammar checking for certain language versions of Office

The grammar checking /style checking feature in Word 2013 RT is available for the following languages only: English, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Danish, Italian, Norwegian Bokmal, Portuguese – Brazilian, Russian, Japanese, Chinese – Simplified, Chinese –Traditional and Korean. Spell checking and other proofing components are available for more languages.

Grammar / style checkers for some of these languages were not ready in time for the preview edition, but will be included in the final edition of Word 2013 RT".

But you cannot install the Danish spell checker?

When will it be avaliable?

question about the Office RT version. The current preview version only works within the desktop envoirement of the Windows 8 RT. By the way this is also the same with the full windows 8 version. I not able to figure out if the final release of Office or Office RT will intergrate within the Modern UI. Meaning if activate one of the programs for example word. I will not be pushed to the desktop mode of windows 8 or windows rt.

In regard to the Surface Pro that is able to Office Outlook. The Modern UI the UI formally known as Metro is connected with outlook.com and the assiociated Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin etc. to support the the Calander en People Apps. Currently in the preview I can connect my outlook.com with Office Outlook, but the Outlook.com app is still needed to run and support the Metro UI. I would like to know if in the final version of Office will support the modern UI and replace the Outlook.com app.

My Surface arrived on Friday. I've been getting to know it and like it a lot. The touch keyboard is different than I'm used to but I'm getting more comfortable with it.

Office is an important part of this device for me and seems to function very nicely. My only complaint is that the SkyDrive app does not keep my files synced between the Surface and my other computers. This is very important to me because when I am on business travel I do not always have WiFi access to retrieve documents from SkyDrive. If I'm on a plane with no WiFi and the most recent version of a file is in the cloud (no pun intended) then the file is not accessible. I currently use two computers and my laptop is always up to date thanks to SkyDrive. Can you get that same functionality for the Surface RT??

Also, I am reading the forums that people are using capacitive sytlus with Surface RT and OneNote, but when I chatted with a support person I was told that "at this point there is not product that you could use with the RT." Then when in provided a link to the forum the response changed to "At this time Microsoft dos not have a product you could use. There may be a third party that has one but it's not one of our products. So we can't guarantee that." I'm going to order a few different styli to see what works best.
