All smaller Windows 8 tablets to ship with bundled copy of Office 2013

So are they dropping the "Service Pack" nomenclature?

I've been seriously considering a tablet purchase for a while now. It would probably be the smaller form factor anyway, so this addition of Office 2013 may push me over the edge. The question is, can it be removed and installed on my desktop instead? hehe

I was with you on the tablet purchase for some time now. To replace my 5 yo dell laptop. I took the plunge and went with a larger ipad. I must tell you, even without office, which I hardly use anyways these days, I was impressed with tablets. I was very skeptical at first, but for quick internet, and some light things it does well.

As I am saying all this, I cannot give up my desktop. Too many things I do require cpu power, and a tablet cannot offer that.

Good to see MS making itself, at least appear, more versitle, might be a marketing plot, but none the less a good attempt.

Sorry but ipad wins this tablet war for now. Android is coming close and Microsoft may never get it

Sounds desperate to me.

Office should work fine with this tablet, which is what I want, as for ipad, I am not convinced that ipad is as good, it now depends on their prices....
