You can download a 60 day trial of Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus Here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj192782.aspx

You can take it for a test drive and see if you like it

Lol, i've been using it for months (?) now. Didn't really think it wasn't released yet until I read this .
Finally !

Its available on technet and msdn already

It is available on technet and MSDN as a 60 day trial.The official retail version will be released sometime in January 2013

RTM version already released in mid October and I'm already using it + activated through phone activation . Permanently genuine

None of the version is the official retail version.

Sure even windows 8 and Windows 7 were available long before they came out,but the official release date for Windows 8 is still 26 Oct 2012.

and anyway when Office 2013 is officially released it will be available through all channels, i.e you can buy is from Microsoft or even a retailer like PC world.

Oops sorry I mistyped not October it was mid November. Hehe so silly of me and It is the official MSDN iso as its SHA-1 and MD5 are exact so it is bound to be the official iso. I think it would be illegal to post the link or explain how I got to it but I can reply in PM

The fact is that The official ms office 2013 RTM was released in mid November 2012 for MSDN and Technet subscribers and will release in January 2013 for all other customers who buy such softwares
Thanks

That is correct.The only version that is out officially to Technet & MSDN Members is a 60 day evaluation copy of Office 2013 Professional Plus.It is ,like the Final RTM versions of Windows 8, for all intents and purposes the same as the retail releases version.You were able to activate it using KMS Activator w/ phone activation but I am not sure if it can still be done.I have the evaluation copy installed but I will probably just go back to my preactivated office 2010
