Office 2010 To Be Released in June 2010

View Comments December 2, 2009 | GGarza

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.

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.

    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.

Starter is a streamlined Office, with only Word and Excel available with advertisements and limited functionality. However, Starter will be completely free and provided to OEMs for pre-loading onto PCs, with the upgrade option already installed. As a result, a user simply has to purchase a plastic card for a single-use license from various major retailers such as OfficeMax to completely enable the suite. [...]
