I can't speak for the entire Office suite but the things happening in Excel are impressive. First, Excel 2013 has the PowerPivot engine built in. If you don't know about PowerPivot, it allows data analysis over very large data sets (think millions of rows). It has other features like pulling data from multiple sources, tabular data modeling, and others. Power View is another option that is now built into Excel 2013. And there are a bunch of plugins available like the Data Mining. They are throwing all of this into Excel for no additional cost.
You have Office 365 now, is that not something? You can get a hosted version of SharePoint now with it. Again, is this nothing?
Windows 8 has a new OneNote app available that has a very innovative interface. Again, no recognition on this?
Like I said, I don't know what's going on with the rest of the suite but I do not think this article is warranted.
Yep, and flash fill, too, which if it were introduced by Google instead would probably be hailed as evidence that the strong culture of AI at Google gives them an innovation advantage in the long run.
