At the moment there is a preview of the new Microsoft Office 2013 available for customers. The official version of Microsoft Office 2013 is still to be released in late 2012 and you should know that the Office is actually Microsoft's second reason for success besides their operative systems. And in the OS department, Microsoft's concerns and attention are diverted towards the launch of Windows 8 which is soon to be released. After the release of Microsoft Office 2010 it's now time for Office 2013 to take over and rule the market. Here are some of the new features which will help you decide whether you should use 2013 as your primary office version or still continue using the current ones.
What makes this version so special?
The reason why the 2013 version of Office is special is because first of all, Microsoft is well capable of following the same keys of success that Apple and Google are right now. When Google and Apple started using the cloud storage service and providing it to customers, Microsoft decided to keep up and implement it within Office 2013.
Right now you'll be able to save all your work documents including Word, PowerPoint presentations and Excel spreadsheets online ad then you can access them from anywhere you want as long as there’s an internet connection.
