The developer preview of microsoft word has been released for the entire word to get their hands on it. Just like when microsoft brought out a developer preview of windows 8. It's basically to see what microsoft has done with the software and what new features has been intergrated into the new software. First of all i'd like to say i haven't downloaded microsoft word 2013 developer preview, this is just a news roundup on the topic.
If you're running windows XP or vista, you won't be able to run microsoft 2013. I can understand from an XP stand point, many computers and many businesses still use windows XP because that's one of the platforms that people are most farmilar with and it's one of the bog standard Operating sytems. Just like my college and i'm sure many other business are doing the same, we're finally moving over to windows 7 and the reason for this is because microsoft are cutting support for XP and obviously skipping to vista isn't the best idea after all it was a kind of a fail operating system, which i had no problem with.
One little side note, The most popular browser now is Google Chrome but just a few months ago Google chrome is the most popular browser during the weekends and since businesses and education buildings can't change internet browser like you can do at home, this caused internet explorer to be the most popular browser during weekdays.
Microsoft 2013 is going to be customized to fit with windows 8 touchscreen devices, it's going to feature the best text selection method ever seen on a touchscreen device. Remember there was a tweak called Swipe selection and you could swipe your finger over the iPad virtual keyboard and it would scan back and if you swipe 2 fingers over the keyboard, it would scan faster enabling you to get the point in the text ready to edit and if you held the shift button and swipe your fingers, it would highlight that text ready for editing.
To fit with the touchscreen devices and the history of microsoft word, microsoft have decided to give it a more user friendly interface and without having many options, these options are said to be innovative and will flow through your word document. Check out the tweak it's very nice
another side note, Microsoft were sued for using a certain type of XML code to help write microsoft word 2003. This caught the eye of i4i who sued microsoft for 290 million dollars and microsoft were asked to stop selling the software with the infringing patent. This is a really stupid mistake by microsoft, they could have easily bought the company for a low fee and they could have used all the patents they aquired from purchasing that company.
