I've installed it to edit my CV. Most features are there, and I could open and edit a new blank doc. You need a Microsoft account to sign on, but an Office 365 subscription isn't needed. Who going to be worried about tracked changes whilst using a tablet?

I don't even read Slashdot "stories" about Microsoft anymore, because most are just obvious "troll" or click-bait aimed at the anti-microsofties that prevail at Slashdot.
