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. Today, Redmond unveiled the latest edition (July 16)— Office 2013 (a.k.a Office 15) — which the company will be showing in a preview stage until the final version goes on sale. (Better scroll down at the bottom to download the preview version.)
Above are the expected icons each applications in the Office 2013 (cool right?).
Requirements
This might be a good time to clarify the minimum hardware requirements. So long as you have 3.5GB of free disk space and an X86 or X64 system clocked at 1GHz or higher, you should be good to go. DirectX10 graphics are required, along with a minimum resolution of 1024 x 576. Microsoft also recommends 1GB of RAM for 32-bit systems, and 2GB for 64-bit machines.
