Microsoft provided itself with two Windows 8 tablets (no, not the
Surface) and access to the customer preview versions of both Office 2013
and the cloud-based Office 365 ahead of the formal announcement.
While
the full lineup of offerings and pricing plans will be announced in the
fall, Ballmer discussed three new Office 365 subscription services.
When available, each new subscription offer will include the new 2013
editions of the Office applications — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote,
Outlook, Publisher and Access. In addition, subscribers will receive
future rights to version upgrades as well as per-use rights across up to
five PCs or Macs and mobile devices.
