I think Office RT is going to be great for 95% of the home and student market. And this is geared toward that market, not to the business market. For any power users, not being able to use VBA and macros is going to be a deal breaker. Even though the vast majority of my excel workbooks don't have any macros... occasionally they are unavoidable for some files.

I was really thinking about getting the RT tablet but I'd buy it to replace my laptop so I'm going to have to do some work on it....hence need VBA.
