FWIW, and this may be more appropriate on reddit than here, I’ve come across one deficiency of the Store version of desktop Office.
Using File Explorer, select a text file (.TXT extension). Usually it’s associated with Notepad. If you’ve installed a more powerful text editor, like Notepad++, .TXT files would be associated with that. However, if you wanted to open the .TXT file in Word, it’s not so easy.
Store desktop Word doesn’t appear in the default Open With submenu of the pop-up/right-click menu. Nor can a usable Word .EXE be found using Look for another app on this PC.

<p>Perhaps it would be better just to call it "The Store version of Office". Or is there another version of Office in the Store such that an additional qualifier is needed? </p>

<blockquote><a href="#245669"><em>In reply to bharris:</em></a></blockquote><p>I agree. When you're young bragging points matter but as you get older your contemporaries don't really care about what you have. So you're no longer influenced by "coolness" and "newness".</p>
