Microsoft Readies Office 15 |

Microsoft launched the next version of its flagship Office suite as a Technical Preview product on January 30, 2012 and a public beta release is expected in the summer. Office 15 - the codename for the suite - will have a number of significant changes designed to help information workers get more work done in less time. Although the product is still evolving and Microsoft will no doubt make countless changes before final release, the Technical Preview provides some early glimpses into the next generation of Microsoft Office.
The business world is clearly moving to a more visual user interface as with Office 15, Microsoft seems to be positioning this stalwart suite of tools squarely in the middle of this wave. By embracing the Metro user interface in Windows 8 and facilitating the use of touch screen technologies, Office 15 is more than just a cosmetic facelift on an old friend.
