Microsoft Office is a cornerstone product for the company as the productivity suite is considered to be the best on the market and is used by millions of consumers each day.

Microsoft has already pulled the covers back on the Office platform and it is already available to those of you who have a Windows RT device and various other corporate developer channels. But for those of you who have been waiting for general availability so that you can go down to your local shop and pick up a key or download it directly from Microsoft, the last we officially heard was Q1 of 2013 for when that would become possible.
