Speculation has been circulating that Microsoft will be showcasing its Office 15 suite today at an event in San Francisco. A technical preview of the software has been available to a select number of private users since January but with non-disclosure agreements in place, there has been little information about the new software.
Reports have claimed that Office 15 will not be able to run on Windows XP or Vista as Microsoft will end support for XP in 2014 with Vista support expected to end in 2017. This is likely to see Office 15 only run on Windows 7 and 8 machines. Rumours are that Microsoft will launch Office onto the iPad with Word, Excel and PowerPoint apps.
