Microsoft Office 2013 releases to manufacturing, reaches most of us early next year

Break out the party streamers and balloons - if only in an orderly fashion, because this is the day Office 2013 has been released to manufacturing. The completion swings Microsoft's attention towards a rollout staggered over the next few months. Wider availability will have to wait until the first quarter of 2013 - such synchronicity with your branding, Microsoft - but companies who've sprung for volume licensing will get access as early as mid-November to December 1st, depending on whether or not they're embracing a Software Assurance plan.
