While announcing general availability date for Office 2013, Microsoft also mentioned that starting October 19, every single consumer that purchases Office 2010 from a local retailer or a reseller would get the new Office for free.
Before putting the party hats on, it’s also very important to note that Office 2013 won’t be delivered immediately after you get the 2010 version, but only when the product sees daylight in early 2013.
