    What world are you living in that “Most” people are using 2013?

  2. Opps!
    The Link took me

    “The invitation you entered has unfortunately already been used by another Connect customer. We apologize for this.”

    Please correct it

  3. What’s wrong in that statement? If you are an advanced user you should immediately upgrade to the latest RTM version of a software. I am also using office 2013 and almost all people in my contacts are using it as well.

    Thanks VG for the news.

    I disagree.
    You say that: “If you are an advanced user you should immediately upgrade to the latest RTM version of a software”
    Ever since Windows 8 came out it received (and still is receving) a lot of negative reviews
    I would not recommend users to switch to Windows 8 until a service pack comes out
    Just because something is new does NOT mean it is better

  5. I think you have it backwards. Most are using 2010 if not 2007. Our company (+5,000) just recently made the move to 2010. I think 2013 is in its very early adoption stage, and probably won’t pass 2010 until next year.

  6. “What’s wrong in that statement? If you are an advanced user you should immediately upgrade to the latest RTM version of a software”
    Now don’t say that Windows XP and Vista users aren’t advanced users. And you can have many reasons not to update to the latest version: for example, a new update adds a feature which you can barely find a use for and also updates system requirements, causing it to run slow on a somewhat old PC. Why would you upgrade your PC CPU or RAM for a thing you barely use?
    Most developers still use Visual Studio 2010, ask them why they don’t use Visual Studio 2012. And developers are undoubtedly advanced users.
    Also, if it’s free software I would recommend updating, but definitely not in favor of buying the latest version every 2-3 years, just because it’s the latest version.
