Microsoft has officially launched its Office Store for tools that extend the capabilities of the Office 2013 applications. The Office Store was announced as part of the official unveiling of Office 2013 in July, as the new way for Microsoft customers to find and deploy applets to extend the capabilities of Office and SharePoint.

Now, Microsoft has declared the Office Store open in a posting on its Apps for Office and SharePoint blog, along with a dedicated developer centre where developers can sign up to get started building applets ready for the launch of Office 2013 itself.

With Office 2013, Microsoft is introducing a new model for creating extensions that is based around web standards, using HTML5, CSS and JavaScript code.

The Office Store functionality is also integrated directly into the Office 2013 applications, allowing users to find and install them from the ribbon menu.

At the moment you can take a glance at the new Microsoft store and find out which kinds of applications are available already.

Ps: Tell us which kind of apps you’d need in the new MS Office?
