How many different versions are there?
Office 2013 will come in a variety of versions for home and business users, and you can get the current pricing and version breakdown here. Office 365's subscription-based cloud service comes in tiers: Home Premium (20GB of SkyDrive storage and 60 minutes of Skype world minutes a month included), Small Business Premium (shared calendars, business-class mail, HD conferencing), and ProPlus (enterprise). Buying the standalone versions of Office 2013 will get you maintenance updates only, but staying subscribed to Office 365 will give you big updates coming down the pike in the future as well. Sound confusing? Well, it is.
There's also the Microsoft RT version of Office for ARM-based tablets, included for free on RT devices such as the Surface RT tablet. Office Home and Student 2013 RT includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.
How many devices will it support?
With a purchase of any of the Office 2013 standalone versions you will only be able to install it on one PC. The Office 365 subscription versions can be installed on up to five computers. You can deactivate versions and install them on other devices after that. You'll need to sign up for a free Microsoft account to use cloud-based document sharing via SkyDrive.
Is there a Mac version?
No Mac version of Office 2013 has been announced, but Microsoft says the Mac version is on a different track than the Windows version, and will be upgraded in 12 to 18 months. However, the Office 365 subscription plan is compatible with Office for Mac. If you sign up for a subscription, you can install Office 2013 on five Macs and receive free updates when they become available.
What are the system requirements for office 2013 ?
You'll need a Windows 7 or Windows 8 PC, or a Windows RT tablet.
How does it work on tablets?
Office 2013 is specifically optimized for tablet use, and even smartphone use. The layout has been simplified and more touch-friendly button-icons have been added. While the Ribbon still remains in Word, you can opt to remove interface clutter for a cleaner view. Other additions focus on media use and consumption; Read mode optimizes a document for tablet reading with booklike page-flipping, and videos can be viewed within documents. Images can be captured from a tablet's onboard camera and resized right into the doc; finger gestures can enable layout changes. A clever radial thumb-controlled button scheme in OneNote provides a quick way to adjust fonts, colors, and sizes.
Will it work on phones?
Yes,
Windows phones will support Office via SkyDrive, seamlessly updating saved changes. It's still unclear how robust Office on phones will be.
What about Skype?
Skype is supported in Microsoft Lync for multiparty video chat, and within Office for collaboration on documents. The biggest impact could be in office meetings: a demonstration on an 80-inch Perceptive Pixel screen created a giant interactive whiteboard and collaborative meetup.
