Next version of Microsoft Office
I still haven’t gotten used to Office 2007 but the next version, denoted Office 2010, is coming soon. The big news here is that Microsoft is making this version of office available for Web use. MarketWatch reports:
Microsoft Corp. on Monday made the latest edition of its Office software suite available for testing and plans to make key applications such as Word and Excel available over the Web — acknowledging burgeoning competition from Internet giant Google Inc. and others.
Office 2010 is not yet available for public testing. Mary Jo Foley explains at ZDNet:
On July 13, Microsoft is slated to make available a limited technical test build of its Office 2010 suite to select testers via the company’s Connect download site.
The new build is not a public beta. A public beta of Office 2010 is slated for later this year, as company officials have said previously. The promised July test build, which will be downloadable starting today, is of Office 2010 Professional — one of the five planned Office 2010 SKUs — only.
Added later: TechCrunch has a post, The Complete Guide To Microsoft’s Office 2010.
