Office 2013 went on sale today on Microsoft’s website. It’s branded as Office 365.<\/p>\n

Here’s the link to the Microsoft announcement and store:<\/p>\n

Outlook 2013 and MYN\/1MTD<\/strong><\/p>\n

This of course means that Outlook 2013 is officially out. I already wrote up the differences in Outlook 2013 as they relate to the MYN & 1MTD systems. Here are the links to those writeups:<\/p>\n

Subscription Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you go to the Microsoft store page, you’ll notice right away that Microsoft is emphasizing a subscription model, as I described in this post<\/a>. As individuals, many of us react poorly to subscription plans for software, in the same way that most people would rather buy a car than lease it. But if you have quite a few PCs, Macs, or Microsoft tablets in your home (as I do), the Office 365 Home Premium subscription plan looks pretty good, I think. For businesses, there are a ton of pricing plans, so study them carefully.<\/p>\n

I’ll Be Releasing New Books and Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

This new version of Outlook means we’ll be updating many of our products. Expect to see a new Outlook book from me by August (the changes are not large; the links above cover most of them). We’ll be incorporating Outlook 2013 into our webinars and video products in the months ahead. Anyone who purchased a Video product in the last year will get a free upgrade automatically (we’ll announce it).<\/p>\n

Should You Upgrade to Office 2013?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been using trial copies for a while, and I generally like the new products. There is nothing earth shattering, but a lot of new features are there. I think I like the integration of SkyDrive the best. And if you use a Windows tablet, you’ll want the new version—Office 2013 is optimized for tablets.<\/p>\n

Outlook 2013 changes are mostly organizational and tablet oriented. In some ways <\/a>I like the To-Do Bar better in Outlook 2010, but the better design and features of 2013 make it a wash.<\/p>\n

Watch the Newsletters and Blogs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watch my newsletters and blog posts—I’ll be trickling out comments and tips as I discover them.<\/p>\n

And let me know in the comments section how you like the new versions!<\/p>\n
