Hi there
I tried a little play with an RT tablet at work -- Office RT is definitely IMO "Toy Office" if you want to do any sort of serious work.
EXCEL just won't currently do any decent VB macros so trying to automate for example downloading Real Time stock / option quotes into a spread sheet and feed these into an application just isn't on.
It does simple calculations etc -- but for any SERIOUS excel user -- forget it --wait for the PROPER version on a surface pro if you must use a tablet.
As an "Overgrown" smart phone (without the phone bit) it performed adequately but I can't really see this as a serious work device -- I wouldn't even like to watch a movie on it for more than about 30 mins and as for watching THIS -- forget it.
(Ashes Cricket England Vs Australia -- looks like even to my inexperienced eyes the guys from down under are getting HAMMERED). Actually I never thought I'd like cricket --it's quite interesting actually especially on the Internet stream at work. !!!! About the only use for the wretched RT tablet !!).
Cheers
