<quote>I switched to Android last year and may get a Surface 2 this year if MS stops the silly restrictions or false advertising about free office </quote>
What's the false advertisement here? You get a copy of office, Outlook included on current ARM based Surfaces.
Please note there are multiple versions of Office and I would describe the Surface version as Home and Student + Outlook. (It didn't originally come with Outlook but does now). Just popping over to Microsoft's site and it pretty explicitly states you get Office 2013 RT versions of Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. The RT means compiled for ARM and Touch optimized. May be missing some business features if they had problems compiling.
Having owned a Surface, I don't remember any silly restrictions.
When I traded up to a Surface Pro that did not come with office, but I wasn't expecting it to. I think the Surface Pro's now come with a year of Office 365 (which is still office just a subscription model).
Just curious what you were expecting to get on the Surface that you don't think they are giving you.
