Microsoft has announced some time ago, Windows RT, which is adapted for tablets with ARM architecture. The biggest problem with this is that it is not the usual Windows programs to run, but only programs that are written specifically for it. Good thing after all a Microsoft Office 2013 package mitliefert directly. Unfortunately, this is only the Home and Student version, so that the popular e-mail client Outlook is missing. Instead, there is a fairly stripped-mail client with not nearly as many features.

Now there are rumors that Microsoft is currently testing at an appropriate client. Much more information such as whether there is a version that is more similar to the desktop or look at the new Windows 8 style is not yet known. Microsoft also officially makes no statement about it. Coincidentally, I am but on Tuesday at an office event in Hamburg, where the new office will be presented in 2013 and hopefully there is also information on the RT version of Outlook. Whether Outlook 2013 also increases the overall acceptance of Windows RT remains questionable.
