Office 15

Computer Store News in San Francisco on Monday According to several sources, Microsoft will showcase the next version of Office 15 in San Francisco next Monday. It should be noted that Office 15 is the code name. The industry still believes that Microsoft will use the traditional year naming method to identify the product as “Office 2013”. Since January, Microsoft has selected Office 15 for a preview of user testing technology. It's unclear whether Microsoft will announce beta testing of the Office 15 beta on Monday, or whether it will be launched this summer.

The industry currently knows little about Office 15. Some reports claim that Windows XP and Windows Vista cannot run Office 15. Microsoft has decided to stop supporting XP in 2014 and stop supporting Vista in 2017.

If XP and Vista can't support Office 15, the only system that can run new software is Windows 7 and 8. There are also rumors that Microsoft will bring Office to the iPad, which will include Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other programs. In late 2011, Microsoft launched OneNote for the iPad.

Microsoft has not confirmed whether it will launch the touch version of the Metro interface Office on Windows 8. So far, only the desktop version of Office 15 appears online. Microsoft is bringing Office 15 to Windows RT (ARM Architecture Windows 8).

According to the details provided by the technology preview, its appearance is Metro style, while Metro is the main design language of Windows 8 and Windows Phone. Office 15 looks and feels a bit Metro. The basic style and square edges are similar. The past Office Ribbon user interface is hidden by default.

The new Office 15 will integrate cloud computing services, as well as Facebook, Flickr, Hotmail, SkyDrive and more. There are also rumors that Microsoft will launch the Office Marketplace to provide extension tools, and Office 15 also pays for the tablet touch optimization mode, supporting an integrated touch screen.
