Is the Office free a Surface only thing, or will it be on all RT tablets? That's actually a really decent saving as Office licences aren't cheap.

Part of rt, so all win rt devices.

Actually just noticed its only Office Preview. Isn't that the one that expires after 30 days?

No. Its full blown version of Office 2013 RT iirc.

It is Preview, but gets a free upgrade to full when its available. My initial comment stands, that's quite a good deal.

Nope, just means its not finished/finalised yet and when it is finished it'll update through windows update.

I must say the Surface RT looks like a really good tablet, I just wish it had a 1080p screen. Its really tough choice right now in the tablet market, just for entertainment I think I would still take a iPad3 just cause of the screen, but for everything else the Surface is looking hot. I think I might get a RT for now, and update it when a Haswell based tablet comes out. I believe Haswell would be amazing, if it can run games at 720p even at high thats amazing from a tablet.

Pro has in x86 platform or pro as in windows 8 pro?

The x86 tablets won't nesacerilary have windows 8 pro on them, they might only have windows 8.

WindowsRT includes flash however there's a limited amount of sites which it works on. Not sure of exactly which but all the big ones (YouTube, iPlayer etc.) should work fine.

11k posts on a PC enthusiast forum and you say that? How have you survived so long?
