Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s chief executive officer said that the upgraded Office will offer unparalleled productivity and flexibility. It will be loaded with social and cloud features making your task a bit easier. The cloud feature will offer utmost performance when harmonized with Microsoft Windows 8 operating system.
To avoid competition from Google and Jive, the company will introduce Web-based versions of the Word, Excel and email programs as well as contribute social features to its marquee software. The updated Office will allow you to save documents to Microsoft’s Internet-based cloud storage service SkyDrive. This will enable you to access your files using tablets, computers and phones.

Yammer will offer a Facebook-like experience that will help team up with other employees.
People Card is a remarkable tool introduced in Office that will allow you to see your contacts as well as photos, status updates and information on whether others are online. Microsoft’s office suite will be available with Skype Internet-calling.
