Microsoft Office 2013 Customer Preview Released

Microsoft has official released Office 2013 Customer Preview. This is one of the biggest customer preview releases after Windows 8. Microsoft is making big bets with this release. They are taking some bold initiatives with this release. This release is basically targeted for the touch based devices like Mobiles, Tabs etc.

I have tried the Customer Preview. The very first impression is awesome...It has a beautiful interface and stability in its use. The Customer Preview comes in two models:

a. Office 365 Model where we use the Customer Preview as a Cloud Service.
b. Offline method (traditional .msi installater)

I am running the customer preview for the last one day without any crashes and glitches. And to add on, the Customer Preview automatically picked up my Outlook data and One Note Data.

Can't wait for the final release now.....
