Microsoft reveals details about the interface of Office 15

In the last hours, we learned how run Windows 8 when run on ARM processors , which can be run on time only four applications in the desktop interface: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. But while Microsoft showed us a video summarizing the salient features for those coincidences that often are not, it was possible to discover in what state is the development of Office 15 .

As we learned last year, the next version of office suite take the Metro interface , in line with the changes expected in the operating system, with the idea of simplifying the use and optimize performance, especially if we talk about battery consumption. Even if we compare with the various leaks that occurred, the appearance is now even easier, starting with the Ribbon hidden or removed completely.

The menu offers more space between items, easier to use from tactile devices as well as less icons for actions that also can be launched from the menu bar. Also, the clearance of documents becomes white, instead of the elegant gradients that exist in previous versions, while the status bar takes the color that characterizes each application package.

Another element that can be seen in the upper right of the screen is the option to log on, probably using our Windows Live ID. This is a movement rather than logical, in times in which we have the Office Web Apps and Mobile applications , with the clear objective to synchronize your files to edit them from anywhere.

No doubt, Windows 8 will be a major renewals of the operating system in recent decades, and Office is always one of the first to accompany each of the transformations. Viewing just the catch, it seems that the suite represents the balance between the two possible interfaces, although that will confirm when we can test the beta .
