Microsoft announced that Office 2010 is set to be released to the public in June 2010. Already, the Beta versions have shown that Microsoft has designed a product that is stable, and with many enhancements.
Enhancements were made in the areas of cut and paste, picture and video editing, data visualization, and Web-based access to Excel and PowerPoint.
The beta version, which is available for download from the Microsoft site offers a variety of new enhancements. Most importantly, however, the office suite attempts to embrace the cloud: browser-accessible editions of OneNote, Excel, Word and PowerPoint will be made available to Microsoft Live subscribers free of charge. Users will be able to access and edit documents online. These will be stripped-down versions of the full applications. The broadest range of tools will only be available to those who purchase the full version of Office 2010.

The images seen here came from beta testers earlier this year. The final product may change but here is an indication of what is likely to be seen on the office suite.

Instead of Microsoft Works, Office 2010 Starter is a version of the suite that will come preinstalled on PCs produced by major PC manufacturers. The Starter Edition will offer streamlined versions of Word and Excel with which documents can be created, viewed and saved. The upgrade option to the full Office 2010 suite will already be present on the PC’s hard drive. Users will only need to purchase a single-use license on a plastic card from a retailer such as Office Max.
Send a smile is for the beta only.
I can’t wait to try the new Microsoft Office 2010. But one thing I don’t like the color of the user interface in Office 2010. I like the blue color of the user interface in Microsoft Office 2007. The gray color of the user interface in Microsoft Office 2010 reminds me of Microsoft Office 2003. The Office 2010 seems to have a classic color. oh, well. I will still use Office 2010.
you can change the colour between blue silver and black in the option menu like in 2007
Does anybody else think that the icons for 2010 are hideous? I was perfectly happy with 2007′s. Windows 7 is beutiful, but then you have these ugly icons with large P’s and O’s. I’m a windows-only user, but I do like the look of the Mac Office suites icons a bit better than the new 2010 ones.
It’s kind of sad really.. These technical previews and betas are mere jokes nowadays… They are so stable.. I experienced almost zero crashes all the way through windows 7 office 2010 and MSE so far..
seem like it will be ready sooner (say march or april – this beta is feature complete & that’s not an OS) but appearntly the delay is for the online versions, which still needs time.
