Does it run Office, and every other badly written legacy app from the last 20 years? If not, then its not a "better deal" in most people's minds.

You can run Office on a Surface iff you have enough free space to install it at all :)

I believe there's so little free space because Office 2013 is preinstalled.

Not on the Surface Pro which this thread is about. Only the Surface RT comes with a pre-release version of Office.

Ah, I see that there's a "recovery partition" on the Pro models.
