Microsoft Office 2010
Microsoft Office 2010, codenamed Office 14, is the successor of Microsoft Office 2007, a productivity suite for Microsoft Windows.[1] Extended file compatibility[2], user interface updates[3], and a refined user experience[4] are planned for Office 2010. With the introduction of Office 2010 a 64-bit version of Office[5] will be available for the first time. It will be available for Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista and Windows 7.[6] Furthermore, 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. Microsoft has confirmed that it will be released during Spring 2010, and a public beta will be available in November 2009.[7] A new edition of Office, Office Starter 2010, will replace the current low-end home productivity software, Microsoft Works.
History and development
Development 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 for fun.[8] It was previously thought that Office 2010 (then called Office 14) would ship in the first half of 2009;[9] however Steve Ballmer has officially announced that Office 2010 will ship in 2010.[10]
On January 10, 2009, screenshots of an Office 2010 alpha build were leaked by a tester.[11]
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, [12] 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.[13][14]
The Beta Build 4417 was leaked to the internet on August 30, 2009. It contained a number of UI enhancements, as well as the near final implementation of Backstage View.[15]
Technical Preview
On May 15, 2009, the first Technical Preview was leaked to BitTorrent websites.[16] An 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.[15]
Public Beta
Since 15th November 2009, Microsoft has launched a new Microsoft Office portal, featuring download pages of the Office 2010 Home and Bussiness version, or the Professional version. The downloads will be avaliable soon.[19]
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.[20]
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 Open Document 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][21][22]
Office Web Apps
Microsoft plans to offer a free web-based version of its Office productivity suite, known as Office Web Apps, that will debut with the release of Office 2010.[23] Office Web Apps will include online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. The web apps will allow sharing and collaboration of documents and files and also feature user interfaces similar to their desktop counterparts. 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 will be enabled in the beta release later in 2009.
