What’s new in this release of Office?
-------------------------------------
The 2013 versions of familiar Office applications such as Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint include new features that help you create,
communicate and work efficiently from virtually anywhere. In
addition to updating the traditional Office suites, Microsoft has
developed brand new subscription versions of Office, specifically
designed around the way customers use Office. Each new
subscription offer will include the 2013 versions of the Office
applications, for example Word, Excel and PowerPoint, plus cloud
services such as Skype world minutes and online storage with
SkyDrive.
Subscribers will also receive future rights to version upgrades
as well as per-use rights across multiple PCs or Macs and select
mobile devices.1 Note: The Office applications you can use across
PCs, Macs and other devices vary by platform.

What is the difference between the Office 2013 suites and Office
365 plans?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Office is still the name Microsoft uses for its
familiar productivity software. Office suites have traditionally
included applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and
Outlook. All Office 2013 suites include the latest versions of
the applications, for use on a single PC.
Microsoft uses the name “Office 365” for products that include
cloud services, such as additional SkyDrive online storage, Skype
minutes for home use, Lync web conferencing or Exchange Online
hosted email for businesses. Cloud services are features that are
enabled over the Internet. Most Office 365 plans also include the
full-featured Office 2013 applications, which users can install
across multiple computers and devices. All Office 365 products,
such as Office 365 Home Premium, are paid for on a subscription
basis, annually. Active subscribers will receive future rights to
version upgrades as a benefit of their subscription. Entitlements
vary by product.
