History and development
Development started in 2010 while Microsoft was finishing work on Office 14, released as Microsoft Office 2010.
In May 2011, a build of an Office 2013 alpha build was leaked by a tester.[citation needed]
On January 30, 2012, Microsoft released a technical preview of Office 15, build 3612.1010, to a selected group of testers bound by non-disclosure agreements.[9]
On July 16, 2012, Microsoft held a press conference to show off Office 2013 and to release the Consumer Preview.[10] The Office 2013 Consumer Preview is a free, fully functional version but will expire.[11] An update was issued for the Office 2013 Customer Preview suite on October 5.[12]
Office 2013 was released to manufacturing on October 11, 2012.[1] It was made available to TechNet and MSDN subscribers on October 24.[13] On November 15, 2012, 60-days trial versions of Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus, Project Professional 2013 and Visio Professional 2013 were made available to the public over the Internet.[14][15] Microsoft has planned general availability for the first quarter of 2013.[1]

New features
Office 2013 is more "cloud-based" than previous versions. This is notable as the default save location is the user's SkyDrive. Also, Microsoft is hoping that users will get Office 2013 through Office 365 subscriptions.
Microsoft Office 2013 includes updated support for ISO/IEC 29500, the International Standard version of Office Open XML (OOXML) file format as well as OASIS Open Document Format 1.2,[16] which Office 2013 can read and write.[17] Additionally, Office 2013 provides full read, write, and edit support for ISO 32000 (PDF). Microsoft Office 2013 also supports Office Open XML Strict, a format which Microsoft has submitted to the ISO for interoperability with other office suites, and to aid adoption in the public sector.[18]
New features include a new read mode in Microsoft Word, a presentation mode in Microsoft PowerPoint and improved touch and inking in all of the Office programs. Microsoft Word can also insert video and audio from online sources as well as the capability to broadcast documents on the Web.[19] Word and PowerPoint also have bookmark-like features which sync the position of the document between different computers.
