MS has moved Office into the Cloud. Will you always have wireless access when you need to use MSOffice? Will you have a data connection? There is a big advantage to having software on your device. There are many office compatible apps for Android (Polaris Office is one, there are others) and these give you Excel, Word, and Powerpoint read and write compatibility - and they are located on your device and do not need to access the almighty "cloud" to use them. The same thing can be done on a pc netbook with Libre Office. Consider other tablets and netbooks before jumping on board MS's fiasco attempt to compete in a market they are just getting their feet wet in.
