First Look: Microsoft Office 2013 369

snydeq writes "Ever since the first beta editions of Windows 8 appeared, rumors have circulated over how Microsoft would revamp its other flagship consumer product, Office, to be all the more useful in the new OS. Would Office become touch-oriented and Metro-centric, to the exclusion of plain old Windows users? A first look at Office 2013 provides the short answer: No. 'Office 2013 has clearly been revised to work that much better in Windows 8 and on touch-centric devices, but the vast majority of its functionality remains in place. The changes made are mostly cosmetic — a way to bring the Metro look to Office for users of versions of Windows other than 8. Further, Office 2013 has been designed to integrate more closely with online storage and services (mainly Microsoft's), although those are thankfully optional and not mandatory.'"

Does it actually matter what happens in the comments section? I'd be interested in knowing what percentage of regular Slashdot readers actually read the comments, and further, what percentage read the comments at a threshold other than 4 or 5?

I visit Slashdot 2 or 3 times a day, and very rarely do I actually read the comments of a story.
