Windows RT ARM-based devices will ship with a preview of Office Home and Student 2013 RT, Microsoft confirmed on Thursday.
Office Home and Student 2013 RT will feature Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint and Word applications. The suite will be provided preinstalled on ARM-based devices running Windows RT at no additional cost, according to a Microsoft spokesperson.
The final Office 2013 for Windows RT product will not be available by the time that Windows 8 reaches general availability on October 26, 2012. However, Microsoft is promising that those who buy Windows RT machines with the Office Home and Student 2013 RT preview preinstalled will get a free upgrade to the final product "starting in early November through January," depending on language-version availability. The upgrade, which will take place automatically, will depend on the device having Wi-Fi connectivity, according to Microsoft's announcement.
