First look at Office 2013!

[Lil' ½ Dead]

Flat colors, straight lines, and bland fonts are the hallmarks of Office 2013.


The brand-new Office 2013 UI. Are you getting sleepy?


Office 2013 in "touch mode" offers big icons and wide spaces for fat thumbs.


Office 2013 offers tight integration with SharePoint, SkyDrive, and other online sources.


Outlook 2013: Now featuring more ways to waste time on Facebook.


Excel 2013 offers a few new tools via contextual menus


PowerPoint's new Presenter View makes life easier for absent-minded presenters.


SharePoint's look and feel is a lot more friendly in Office 2013.


SharePoint 2013 gives you a social network at work ... what's not to like?

Microsoft announced the details of Office 2013 at noon on Monday, San Francisco time, so your humble Reg hacks have only had it their sweaty paws for a few hours, but it's not too soon to give some first impressions of the suite, and in particular its revamped UI.

The first thing you notice when launching any of the Office 2013 applications as that they've definitely been given a makeover to match Windows 8's new Metro UI.

Most of the translucent effects and gradients that were present in Office 2010's Ribbon menus have been removed. In their place are simple, flat fields in white and solid colors.

Just downloaded it this morning, figured I try it seeing as I get free key codes with my MS TechNet subscription, also downloaded Win 8 Pro.

Office 2010 was also a hell of a lot better than 2007

I still use 2010 for my main rig, and 2007 in my older system.
2010 is allot more user friendly IMO... 2007 is good, but can use some feature updates...

Looks like 2013 will look good, but that means also learning the features and menu's all over again like we did with 2007's revisions to the GUI.

Lol, yeah 2007 did take a LONG time to figure out how to do everything I could do in 2003. Glad to here that 2013 is really good, I might have to upgrade soon.
