Office Reaches RTM!

Moments ago, the Office engineering team signed off on the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) build. This milestone means the coding and testing phase of the project is complete and we are now focused on releasing the new Office via multiple distribution channels to our consumer and business customers.

This is the most ambitious release of Office we’ve ever done. It spans the full family of Office applications, servers and cloud services. The new Office has a fresh, touch friendly design that works beautifully on Windows 8 and unlocks modern scenarios in social, reading, note-taking, meetings and communications. We are proud to achieve this milestone and are eager to deliver this exciting release to our customers.

Office 2013, Preview download now live

After much excitement, Microsoft has announced Office 2013 and that the new platform will bring the Metro design language to the popular productivity suite. Microsoft made the announcement today in San Francisco and is also announcing that the Office 2013 preview is available for download. 

As you would imagine, the update brings sweeping enhancements across the board for the new platform as it has been nearly three years since Microsoft last pushed out a major release in 2010. Following in the path of the previous releases, Office 2013 is right on time with the two previous platforms launching in 2007 and 2010.

Microsoft quietly shuts down Office Genuine Advantage program

Late last week, with absolutely no public announcement, Microsoft quietly retired one cog in its antipiracy machine.

An anonymous tipster informed me on Friday that Microsoft had shut down its Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) program as of Thursday, December 16. Previously, if you wanted to download an Office add-in or template, you had to pass through a validation step first, confirming that your copy of Office was “genuine.”
