Windows 8 970 Published by

Neowin reports that Microsoft has offered up more information on the version of Office 2013 that will be pre-bundled with all of the devices that will have Windows RT installed, including the Surface tablet



Microsoft revealed months ago that Windows RT, the version of Windows 8 that runs on processors with designs by ARM, would come with a pre-bundled version of its Office 2013 software suite. Today, the company offered up more information on how the Windows RT version of Office 2013 was developed and how it will be different from the version designed to run on x86-based processors (Windows 8).

In a post on the Office Next blog, Microsoft says the Office 2013 version for Windows RT will officially be called Office Home & Student 2013 RT and will contain versions of Word, Excel, OneNote, and PowerPoint. One of the development team's biggest goals was making sure it worked while still allowing for the Windows RT device to have as long of a battery life as possible.
