Microsoft has recently released the consumer preview of their upcoming MS Office 2013 for consumers to take it for a spin.
The first noticeable difference on this new version of the productivity software is its monochrome logo which is undoubtedly inspired by Metro UI of Windows 8.
Just like the upcoming OS, the New Office (which the company would like to call it) is designed with tablets in mind. That being said, some of the features of the new Office are geared towards making more out of your handheld touch devices like using a stylus as an alternative to touch presses.
Moreover, the need to get things done regardless of where you are is key to the success of this software, that’s why the software giant integrated their online services like SkyDrive to further enhance productivity. Other services like Skype and Yammer are also incorporated in this release to make collaboration a lot easier.
Here’s a short demo of the Office 2013.
This full version of the new Office will be available by mid-September to early October and will come in three versions for Windows and Mac. Unfortunately, the new Office can only be installed on Window 7 and Windows 8 PCs. In addition to this Office Suite, users can also subscribe to Office 365 which enables users to download and install the productivity software to five other devices that supports it. The Office 365 subscription is available in four variants that suits the consumer’s needs.

From the looks of things, it seems that Microsoft has got every bases covered with their new Office. The almost same UI makes it easier for people to get used to the new version. The addition of the Office 365 subscription and other MS-owned services will give users more control and flexibility over their work which is the whole point of the Microsoft Office.

Still on Office 2007 here, but latest LibreOffice (3.5.5). I really don’t see what MS is offering now besides their cloud-integration (not viable for our local internet situation) and their aesthetic changes (Metro UI on non-touchscreens…nope.).
