<p>It's been a busy 24 hours for Microsoft, which has announced a slew of changes regarding its new Windows 8.1 tablets.</p><p>First up is the news that Microsoft's popular Outlook email client will now be available on Windows RT, the 'dumbed-down' version of Windows that's run by ARM-based machines only. Previously these devices, which include the Surfade RT, only supported Microsoft's basic productivity suite of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, allowing with its email, calender and people apps.</p><p>"We're always listening to our customer and one piece of feedback was that people want the power of Outlook on all of their Windows devices," said the company in a statement.</p><p>Much like RT in general, Outlook 2013 RT won't come with all the features of the main version. Virtual Basic for Applications won't be supported by this version, and nor will it come with the data loss prevention capabilities of the full-featured Outlook client. In addition, Outlook 2013 RT won't support Lync video conferencing integration as that feature requires the more powerful 64-bit version of Windows 8. Finally, it won't support Group Policy Objects either, which are used to manage various deployments of Office software.</p><p><a href="http://siliconangle.com/blog/2013/06/05/microsoft-outlook-rt-fingerprint-scanners-for-windows-8-1-free-office-for-small-devices/">Keep reading...</a></p>
