Microsoft Office 2013 Unveiled (release preview).

It's been about three years since Microsoft unveiled a new version of Office, and particularly with Windows 8 just months away from dropping, the software has been well overdue for an upgrade. Yesterday, Redmond unveiled the latest edition -- Office 2013 (aka Office 15 ) -- which the company will be showing in a preview stage until the final version goes on sale.

Microsoft's decision to abandon its tradition of maintaining almost perpetual backward compatibility--which it also did in the case of Internet Explorer 9--continues: The new Office 2013 and Office 365 applications will work only with Windows 7 and Windows 8.
