Microsoft releases system requirements
Microsoft has posted new set of system requirements for its new Office 2013 suite and it looks like Windows Vista and Windows XP are not going to be supported.
The lack of Windows XP support does not come as a surprise and since Vista has been already dropped from Internet Explorer 10 support list, same thing is happening with Office 2013. The new Office 2013 will only be compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows Server 2008 R2/2012.
The rest of the system requirements are pretty high, or to be precise, higher than what we used to see from Microsoft, at least when Office suite is concerned. The CPU is set at 1GHz or faster x64/x86, 1GB of memory for x86 and 2GB for x64, 3GB of available storage space, almost every browser since IE8, Firefox 10.x, Apple Safari 5 or Chrome 17.x, v3.5 or higher .NET version, a touch enabled device for multi-touch functions (noting that all features and functionallity will be accessable via keyboard and mouse), and DirectX 10 capable graphics card for hardware acceleration.

So whats new??
Will the Motor of your mark 5 (insert your own here) fit in your mark 2?? I doubt it.
Microsoft is only protecting its new OS, as would any other Manufacture.
Do yourself a favour and Dump Office & use Libre Office, Totally free & will open and save most MS Files.
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.5.5/win/x86/LibO_3.5.5_Win_x86_install_multi.msi
or go one better and upgrade to Win7 if you must use MS Office.
Win7 is very good & stable unlike Vista & not difficult to get to grips with. (yes it is different but not very much) I for one was glad to see the back of the BSD (Blue Screen of Death).
What do I use of MS, only the OS and sometime Media player, there is so much Free stuff out there that you use & in some cases better.
I Can supply a list of Freeware sites if you wish.
