Microsoft recently released Office 2013 Service Pack 1 for customers wanting to experience enhanced level of general stability, functionality, and security in Office, SharePoint Server, and related products. The pack comes with many improvements and changes, compatibility fixes for Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11, better support for modern hardware, such as high DPI devices and the precision touchpad and more.
