Owners of computers running under Microsoft’s new Windows 8 operating system can now find the new Office 2013 suite through the Windows Store app on their machines.

Microsoft has already listed the productivity suite in the software portal, though only as a desktop app, which means that users will be taken to the Office website when clicking on the provided URL to make a purchase.

Office 2013 was launched with a price tag of $139.99 for the Office Home and Student 2013 SKU, while the Office Home and Business 2013 flavor is priced at $219.99. Those who would like to acquire Office Professional 2013 will have to pay $399.99 for it.

Office 2013 was designed to fit the new touch enhancements that Windows 8 arrived on the market with. As Neowin notes, Office Home and Student 2013 has also been made available for Windows RT devices since October.
