Why can't you do as much in ms office on a tablet vs desktop, whats the difference?

You probably can, but it would be harder esp for a power user. Pads are a bit less responsive and all of the referencing to other cells, just works easier with a mouse.

having used ms office a tablet the only draw back i had was lack of a keyboard. A mouse of would not have made a difference to me. its easy to touch a cell, but hard to navigate without a keyboard.

Have you used the tablet version of Office, Thranx?

I'm just basing it off of knowledge that I don't actually know to be honest, but I have gotten msft Office certifications, and it would just seem to be harder.

yea i use it to write the schedule for my work. i usually use a pc but had to do it on the go with my girlfriends samsung tablet. Besides lack of keyboard it worked great for me. it was a little different especially since i was using it for time, it had me use a clock each time i wanted a time in a different cell, but then i realzed i could use the on screen keyboard to type the time if i manually brought the keyboard up. so it was clunky without the keyboard but lack of mouse didn't bother me.

I can understand you being an enthusiastic supporter of all things Microsoft but are you really going to support the approach that Microsoft has taken with Windows 8 at least when it comes to the desktop versions?? I am fully aware of the fact that they hold the preeminent position in OS marketshare and that they are a superb software company but from time to time they make big mistakes and Windows 8 is a prime example of one. I know more than a few people in the IT support industry and the feedback for it has been overwhelmingly negative.

Now don't get me wrong for I have great respect for Microsoft and Windows 7 is the best operating system I have ever used but we should recognise Windows 8 for what it is. Suitable for touch devices but utterly bad for business and private desktop use alike. Consequently adoption will be slow and I'm confident the majority of users will stick with Windows 7 until Microsoft releases a proper successor to the superb OS that Windows 7 is.

As you can see from my profile status I fucking hate windows 8...wtf MS.

sigh wish I had the option to use windows 7

may i ask you a question? why is it that you only post on vgchartz about "bad" microsoft financials or products or sometimes about apple and about every new google device and how great google is? are you a google representative?

that is no joke question, i really can't believe someone is almost only for those posts on vgchartz.

about the thread, can't really say much about windows 8 yet, i still use 7 and i'm happy with it.

well to be fair Kowen pretty much balances it out

haha yeah i can really imagine kowen working for msft
