Office 15 Won’t Sport the Metro UI on Windows 8

Yesterday, Microsoft announced the availability of the Technical Preview the next generation of its productivity suite, code-named Office 15.

This software is promised in the sense of a public beta in the summer sometimes (just a little luck will get a taste now), and possibly hitting the market later this year, most likely at the same time with Windows 8.

In fact, it appears that Office 15 is built with support for Windows 8, and that he has a load optimization touches, like the radial menu system.



The only lack is the UI is said to Metro, which will create true Windows applications 8.

A new article on the Verge of claims that Microsoft Office applications that will come will actually display more white space, and that it will be f more ocused on content from previous versions.

Basically, however, Office 15 will compenents traditional Windows applications, which should keep them very used on non-touch Windows devices.

A source in the known quoted claiming that Office 15 will run on ARM in ARM mode 8 restricted the Windows desktop that should improve power efficiency significantly.

Apparently, Microsoft is planning the release version of the Metro Office, but had to postpone the plan, as the team behind it is supposed to overhaul the entire suite for it.

There will be a Metro-style Windows application built using Office 8 WinRT, namely OneNote and Lync, who both had to make an appearance in the upcoming Windows Store.

We have been expecting for some sort of Windows 8 integration in future versions of Office, but it seems that Microsoft is not ready to make this step.

However, Metro version of the entire Office suite may indeed arrived, because Microsoft has made a similar move with Office Mobile on Windows Phone. Until more on this arise, we should expect additional details on Office 15 will be launched in the summer, when the beta version of the application arrives.
