Microsoft Office 2010 Beta Released


Microsoft Office 2010, codenamed Office 14, is a productivity suite for Microsoft Windows, and is the successor of Microsoft Office 2007 for Microsoft Windows. Office 2010 includes extended file compatibility, user interface updates, and a refined user experience. It will be available for Windows XP SP3 (32-bit), Windows Vista SP1 and Windows 7. With the introduction of Office 2010, a 64-bit version of Office will be available for the first time, although only for the Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.

Microsoft has confirmed that Office 2010 will be released in the first half of 2010 (around June), and a public beta was made available in November 2009.

Office 2010 will mark the debut of free online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, which will work in popular web browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari). A new edition of Office, Office Starter 2010, will replace the current low-end home productivity software, Microsoft Works.

Microsoft's update to its mobile productivity suite, Office Mobile 2010, will also be released for Windows Phones running Windows Mobile 6.5 and Windows Phone 7 Series.
Another feature to the 2010 Microsoft Office is the social connector feature. It allows users to write emails while keeping track of your family, friends and colleagues by viewing status updates and past communication history with the individual. While users view their emails a name, picture, and title will be available from the person they are contacting. Upcoming appointments can also be viewed with this new feature and users can request friends.
