Power Users Probably Won't Like MS Office on Windows RT

We’re still weeks (if not months) away from seeing the first consumer device running Windows 8 and Windows RT, but as more and more details are revealed I’m beginning to anticipate the launch less and less.

Rich Adin, writing over at An American Editor, has uncovered another restriction in Windows RT which could possibly discourage some from using the OS.

Windows RT is going to be a less expensive and less hardware intensive version of Windows 8 which Microsoft is hoping will compete will against iOS 6 and against Android.

Given the reduced hardware it makes some sense to also limit the apps which can run on the OS, which is part of the reason why Windows RT won’t support apps created for earlier versions of Windows.
