Reviewers of this release specifically praised the redesigned touch friendly interface and real improvements to Excel's charting and PivotTable tools over the prior version.

What The Community Is Saying

The Highs

The Lows

Several called the new SkyDrive based Open and Save flow confusing and cluttered, and some critics felt the underlying suite was still fundamentally the same as previous releases despite the visual refresh.

The Verdict

A solid, if incremental update mainly valued for its charting improvements and touch support, not a dramatic leap from earlier Office versions.
