Well, the article states that Office will not support email on Windows RT (at least for the version of Office that comes with it), because it will not have Outlook, so there you go. If they gimp the Pro version the same way, they're idiots; it'll completely screw over business purchases.

Aside from not having Outlook, which kills it for our business, are the macros in excel just not in the preview or did they do away with them completely?

I'm guessing outlook.com will replace the office version. Hopefully it'll be offered for free as it will probably merge with hotmail. That being said this option still doesn't work for businesses that like to store their own email and not rely on some cloud service.
