The New Office 2013 (-by William Cheng)

Posted on September 8, 2012 by wc088853

There are more than enough postings here to tell you about the good stuff with Microsoft Office 2013. But understanding the pitfalls with a product are just as important. Unbeknownst to most people Office 2013 will not be compatible with Windows XP or Vista; not that anyone cares for Vista. So if anyone is still running the XP Operating System, it’s about time to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8. You should also note that the new software will also require a computer with at least one gigabyte of RAM and a processor speed of at least a gigahertz. Sound like normal specs on a computer, but if your computer is more than 6 years old, it might not be compatible. Finally consumers should keep in mind that the touch features are optimized for Windows 8. Windows 7 user might want to also upgrade their OS to fully utilize the benefits of Office 2013.
