First look at SharePoint 2013 (Office 365 preview)

I just signed up for an Office 365 Preview account (Preview of SharePoint 2013 on the cloud). It's the same SharePoint that's available for download and install. Since the Hardware requirements are pretty heavy (24 GB RAM for SP2013 Preview), I'm not planning to install it locally anytime soon. For now, the online version is good to play with :-)

Here are a few screen shots from the preview site -

SharePoint Team Site (Home Page)



Document Library default View


Notice that the Ribbon does not remain visible all the time, it only appears if we click on the tab - one improvement since it used to take up lots of screen real estate!


Document Library "Library" ribbon


Public Site on Office 365

The all-new publishing site ?



This post is not meant to be a "What's New" article but just a preview of how the new 2013 is going to look for those who are curious and excited as me to find out all about the new SharePoint (2013). Of course, based on feedback, MSFT will surely make lots of changes, so the final version may be slightly different from the one we see now.

You can signup for a preview of the new Office 365 based on SharePoint 2013  here - http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/en/try-office-preview

In the coming days, i'll dig deeper and blog about the cool new features that 2013 has!
