Microsoft (MSFT) Office Presentation Shows Touch-Friendly Features

Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) next Office user interface might include more touch features, according to a leaked presentation revealed over the weekend.

Winsupersite posted a few photos from the presentation, showing MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more outfitted with touch capabilities.

While it might be expected that Microsoft would include more touch features into upcoming Office releases, nothing is official yet and it wasn't speculated when a release date might be. Some believe it will be with another Windows 8.1 update later this year, though the software might not even debut until Windows 9 hits in 2015.

Below are three photos: the top is Word and the bottom two are Excel. Shares of Microsoft are up in early trading.
