Microsoft has released its new Office 2013 suite that includes “Word” word processor, “Excel” spreadsheets and “Powerpoint” presentations – plus other programs for notes, email, publishing and databases that are available with different versions or subscription options.
If you currently are using Office 2007 or 2010, you probably won’t want to upgrade unless you get a new computer, or want to access Office from any internet-connected device.
In summary, Office 2013 can be installed on 1 computer per license, with prices starting at $139. Office 365 Home Premium is a new subscription-based option that can be run from up to 5 computers in a household for an annual fee of $99. See a comparison chart here.
