The launch date for Microsoft's Office 2013 has finally been set. The January 29th launch date info comes from a pre-order page on a Canadian retailers website.

Office 2013 is Microsoft's latest installment in its legendary productivity suite. Office 2013 has been available to businesses since November and it has been available for consumers to preview for quite some time now, with a version of the preview being installed on all Windows RT-based tablets.

The company had previously revealed that its Office 365 subscription service giving users access to the Office 2013 suite would cost $99.99 per year, while different standalone versions of the suite will range from $139.99 to $399.99.
