Office 2013 Preview has arrived
By blurg64
This morning, Microsoft announced the availability of the first public preview of Office 2013 which you can download from office.com/preview.
Office 2013 is a massive release, encompassing nearly every product in the Office suite, including my favourites, Project, Project server and of course SharePoint. Over the next few weeks I will drill into each of the products and highlight some of the new capabilities, changes and favourite features.
The Microsoft team have released an absolute stack of content today to compliment and support the release, including:
- Updated Project website (http://www.microsoft.com/project/en-us/preview/default.aspx)
