Pocket-Lint: Microsoft has announced Office 2013 - Office 15 if you are keeping track of the version numbers - ahead of the release date, as is de rigueur these days. This means mere mortals like you and us can download a consumer preview of the new offering ahead of the official launch later in the year.
Just because you can, it doesn't mean you should. So we’ve downloaded the new suite of applications to find out what’s what, to save you the bother.
Microsoft has just announced major upgrades for OneNote for Mac and iOS. They're interesting upgrades and point to a future where Microsoft works on cross-platform development, offering everyone access to everything.

Microsoft Office is old, very old. Should it really be the number one selling point for an operating system released in 2014?
I simply use OpenOffice. It does the job fine for my (very limited) needs. LibreOffice is supposedly also a great alternative.
So Microsoft Office is nowhere near being a system seller.
If MS wants me to buy new systems, they'd go back to bundling it with Windows 7.
BIT: If you're considering switching to Microsoft Office 2013, you might be interested to know that the software will be getting its first big update when Service Pack 1 arrives "early next year".
