For yourself, if you want to keep current to be able to support users, it might be a good idea. I am running Win 8 for that reason, (and oddly, I kind of like it.)
We advise our clients that there is no need to upgrade Office when new releases come out unless there is a new feature that will make the expense worthwhile. The changes are usually minimal and really, how much can they add to Word or Excel?
If you are rolling out a fleet of new machines that come with it pre installed, which we discourage, then you might want to upgrade older machines to keep things consistent.

I just installed the Office Pro Plus 2013 (from TechNet). Been playing a bit, but only have a few hours in it so far.
The only comment so far is that it's got the Win 8 "flat" GUI appearance, which I don't like that much as it is often difficult to determine which tab you're on.

i brought windows 8 to. I make myself use it an hour or 2 a day. got it on a VM.
I like it.
Most of clients are on office 2003 or 2007. So the rush to upgrade for support is minimal.
I guess i want to try it out but am having a hard time justifying the money when i could use it for something else.

Don't forget support for Office 2003 ends on April 8, 2014 along with Windows XP. May be a good time to contact some of your clients that are still on Office 2003 and prepare them for the upgrade
