Microsoft released Office 2013!!
Microsoft
has opened the New Year with a bang. It has launched a new Office suite and
this is great news for all computer users….
Gotham
City – Launch Pad
As Microsoft launched, Office 2013 in New York City’s Bryant
Park on January 29, it was initially available as a RTM version in October
2012, with a downloadable preview version also present.
The re-designed and improved Office suite is said to contain features
suited for supporting cloud computing and . The best part is, it can run on
Windows RT based devices even though it was designed primarily for the Windows
8 platform.
Subscribing
to Office
Microsoft has also used Office 2013 to introduce a new
subscription-based Office 365 Home Premium version. This version is easily
downloadable and can be installed locally. Users will be paying about $100 a
year for the Home Premium version of Office 365 and $150 for the Small Business
Premium version. This involves running
Office 2013 in five computers, including Macs and 60 minutes of free calls on
Microsoft Skype and up to 20 GB of extra cloud space on SkyDrive.
The Home Premium tag will ensure access to Word, PowerPoint,
Excel, Outlook, OneNote, Access and Publisher and their installation on up to
five computers. The Small Business Premium edition would include access to
InfoPath and Lync, in addition to the Home Premium privileges.
The boxed version for retail sale is to cost $140 for the Home
and Student edition, $220 for Office Home & Business and $400 for the
Office Professional edition.
Improved
Office Suite
The new Office 2013 is loaded with more cloud based features
than the older versions. This includes an option to save files directly to its
SkyDrive cloud service..
Next-Gen Connectivity
The most promising aspect of the Office 2013 has to be the
connectivity part. The new office suite enables constant connection to the
cloud through the SkyDrive service of Microsoft.
Office 2013 will also enable Excel tables with real time live
data, constantly updated PowerPoint slide templates, and of course, Word Docs
containing videos from You Tube.
Lack
of Support
Given the fact that consumers are constantly looking at diverse
products, the chances of Microsoft losing market share to rivals is bright. The
Google Apps suite is one such example
