Microsoft Office 2010, codenamed Office 14, is a productivity suite for Microsoft Windows [1], and is the successor of Microsoft Office 2007 for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac OS X. Office 2010 includes extended file compatibility[2], user interface updates[3] and a refined user experience[4][5]. It will be available for Windows XP SP3 (32-bit), Windows Vista SP1, and Windows 7.[6] With the introduction of Office 2010, a 64-bit version of Office[7] will be available for the first time, although only for Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. Office 2010 is not supported on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Microsoft's update to its mobile productivity suite, Office Mobile 2010, will also be released for Windows Phones running Windows Mobile 6.5. Office 2010 will mark the debut of free online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, which will work in popular web browsers (Windows Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari) but not in the Opera browser or Netscape Navigator . Microsoft has confirmed that it will be released in the first half of 2010, and a public beta was made available in November 2009.[8] A new edition of Office, Office Starter 2010, will replace the current low-end home productivity software, Microsoft Works.
[edit] History and developmentDevelopment started in 2006 while Microsoft was finishing work on Office 12, released as Microsoft Office 2007. The version number 13 was skipped because of the aversion to the number 13.[9] It was previously thought that Office 2010 (then called Office 14) would ship in the first half of 2009;[10] however Steve Ballmer has officially announced that Office 2010 will ship in 2010.[11] On January 10, 2009, screenshots of an Office 2010 alpha build were leaked by a tester.[12] On April 15, 2009, Microsoft confirmed that Office 2010 will be officially released in the first half of 2010. They announced on May 12, 2009 at a Tech Ed event,[13] that Office 2010 will begin technical testing during July and was publicly released to those who signed up to test on 07/08/09. It will also be the first version of Office to ship in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.[14][15] The Beta Build 4417 was leaked to the internet on August 25, 2009. It contained a number of UI enhancements, as well as the near final implementation of Backstage View.[16] [edit] Technical PreviewAn internal post-Beta build was leaked on July 12, 2009, newer than the official preview build and including a "Limestone" internal test application.[17] On July 14, 2009, Microsoft started to send out invitations on Connect to test an official preview build of Office 2010.[18] On August 30, 2009, the beta build 4417 was leaked on the internet via torrent networks.[16] [edit] Public BetaThe public beta has been available to subscribers of TechNet, MSDN and Microsoft Connect users as of 16 November 2009[19]. On 18 November 2009 the beta was officially released to the general public at the Microsoft Office Beta website which was originally launched by Microsoft on 11 November 2009 to provide screenshots of the new office suite. The Office 2010 Beta is a free, fully functional version and will expire on 31st October 2010[20]. [edit] Features    According to an article published in InfoWorld in April 2006, Office 2010 will be more "role-based" than previous versions.[4] The article cites Simon Witts, corporate vice president for Microsoft's Enterprise and Partner Group, as claiming that there would be features tailored to employees in "roles such as research and development professionals, sales persons, and human resources." Borrowing from ideas termed "Web 2.0" when implemented on the Internet, it is likely that Microsoft will incorporate features of SharePoint Server in Office 2010.[21] Microsoft Office 2010 will implement the ISO/IEC compliant version of Office Open XML (OOXML) which was standardized as ISO/IEC 29500:2008 in March 2008, though will also have the option of implementing as a setting the ISO/IEC compliant version of OpenDocument Format (ODF) v1.1, beyond 1.0 which was standardized as ISO/IEC 26300:2006 in May 2006.[2] New features are also said to include a built-in screen capture tool, a background removal tool, a protected document mode, new SmartArt templates and author permissions. The 2007 "Office Button" will be replaced with a menu button that leads to a full-window file menu, known as Backstage View, giving easy access to task-centered functions such as printing and sharing. A refined Ribbon interface will be present in all Office applications, including Office Outlook, Visio, OneNote, Project and Publisher. Office applications will also have functional jumplists in Windows 7, which would allow easy access to recent items and tasks relevant to the application.[3][22][23] Confirmed features of Office 2010 include:

It was also noted that the release does not include full functionality of the Office Web Apps and did not include the OneNote Web App nor the ability to edit Microsoft Word documents, however, these functionalities are enabled in the public beta release of late 2009.
