Test Driving Microsoft’s Office 2013

To say that 2012 is make or break for Microsoft would be an understatement. The typically quiet and somewhat boring juggernaut has been on a roll as of late with the announcement of the Surface, Windows Phone 8 and the end of the year roll out of of its flagship Windows product, Windows 8. Today's press conference in San Francisco is no different with the introduction of the next generation of Office. Armed with a Samsung Series 7 tablet running Windows 8, I've been testing out a build of the new Office for close to a week. While it might not be as sexy as most every other product in the lineup, Office makes up a huge portion of Microsoft's revenue and it's something that clearly needs to be protected. But let's clear up the different versions of Office and why it's not just being called Office 2013 or even Office 15. Here's the breakdown straight from the horse's mouth. The following are some impressions of the new Office based on a build run on a tablet and not the final consumer version.
