Review by Bromptonboy

I installed this on a Windows 7 machine that already had Office 2007 - and I couldn’t help but notice that Office 2013 was installed in parallel, and did not upgrade\replace the applications already in place. The installation is all done via the Internet - there is no media included with the box - just a license key.

The look and feel of this version is not too radical a departure. It seems obvious that they are tailoring the application to also be used in Windows 8.x - so they give it ‘touch-like’ feeling when creating new documents. I haven’t used Office 2010, but this doesn’t seem to radically different from 2007. The Pro version gives you all the apps - including Outlook, Publisher, and One Note.

Licensing and moving this from machine to machine seem like it will be complicated. MS seems to be steering the consumer to the ‘365’ subscriber edition.
