From Computerworld:

Microsoft's announcement Wednesday that it will add Outlook to Office on Windows RT says as much about the company's app problem as it does about customers clamoring for the business-grade email client, an analyst argued.

Yesterday, Microsoft said that Outlook RT 2013 will be added this fall to the existing quartet that now makes up Office Home & Student 2013 RT, the suite that's bundled with Windows RT. The app will be part of Windows 8.1, formerly code named "Blue," which will be a free update to Windows RT and Windows 8.
