      These are "apps from Microsoft" ... not necessarily Office. Note that Office 15 doesn't include Outlook!
  • desktop versions
  • WOA supports the Windows desktop experience including File Explorer, Internet Explorer 10 for the desktop, and most other intrinsic Windows desktop features

      I can't decide if this is a goot thing or not. It seems like it supports the Windows desktop BUT NOT 3rd party desktop apps -- is this just because they couldn't get around to rewriting all the utility apps in Metro style (and recompiling was easier), or because they actually want to support deskop apps?

      Read this as: WOA devices are not user-serviceable, you won't be able to sideload apps, and you deffinitely shouldn't expect to be able to build your own from parts.
  • Within the Windows desktop, WOA includes desktop versions of the new Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, codenamed “Office 15”. WOA will be a no-compromise product for people who want to have the full benefits of familiar Office productivity software and compatibility, an industry-leading hardware-accelerated web browser, apps from Microsoft, and access to apps in the Windows Store.

      "No compromise" ... that's certainly one spin on it.
