The good: Microsoft Office2013 Home Edition is a significant update that delivers all the familiar software, with a reinvented interface, tools that make common processes easier, and a cloud-friendly system that lets you work from anywhere.
The bad: The $100-a-year subscription will be hard for many people to swallow. The upgraded apps are not available for Mac at this time, and won't be for12 to18 months.
The bottom line: Familiar tools coupled with new features and a simplified and redesigned interface make Office2013 well worth the paid upgrade.
