Office 2013 RT is actually Office 2013 Home - Student RT, so you can't use it for any commercial purposes, strange I know when their opposition allows you to use their office apps for any purpose. Sounds ideal for enterprise? There is a but. However, much more than Android or iOS, the Surface 2 is a productivity device that could see it making a big splash into the enterprise environment.Ĭost wise, the Surface 2 costs about the same level as an iPad but has more storage and has Office 2013 RT installed. The Surface 2 is beautiful for video with its 1080p 16:9 screen, although it does fail my number one media device test, whether you can install XBMC (the answer is no). Project Siena allows businesses to create applications without development! Yes, your staff can create their own applications specific to your business. But Microsoft have an ace up their sleeve. I wonder if this is due to the requirement for Visual Studio 2012 to develop for Windows 8, I haven't seen any development tutorials unlike those for iOS or Android. The Windows Store does have a multitude of apps in it, but nowhere near the catalogue available on iOS or Android. The Surface 2 runs Windows 8.1 RT rather than the full version, so users are only able to install applications from the Windows Store. I was one of the few owners of the Microsoft Zune, remember that? Yes it was horrific, I actually don't know what I did with it, but good riddance! Microsoft have never been that good at making their own devices that run their own OS, but with the Surface 2 and Windows RT, they've pulled out all the stops for it not to be another Zune. Does the Surface 2 knock the king of tablets off its perch? With Microsoft's recent release of the Surface 2, they have thrown down the gauntlet to Apple and Google.
