The Office team is working hard towards the completion of Office 2010 (codenamed Office 14) that is scheduled to be released this June and they have finally reached the release-to-manufacturing (RTM) milestone for SharePoint 2010, Visio 2010 and Project 2010.
The suite that will be available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, includes updates to all of Microsoft's major productivity apps such as Word 2010, Outlook 2010, Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010, Access 2010, OneNote 2010, InfoPath 2010 and Publisher 2010. There is no particular date stated but you can pre-order the Office 2010 through this link.
Earlier this year we announced that we will officially launch Office 2010 to our business customers on May 12 with Stephen Elop, President of Microsoft’s Business Division, delivering a keynote as part of our virtual launch. Our virtual launch will allow people from around the globe to participate in our launch by going to http://www.the2010event.com. The virtual launch site will showcase product demos, customer and partner testimonials, and interviews with product managers and executives, and we hope this will give you another great way to explore, learn, and get excited about the 2010 releases.
What makes this news more interesting is that the Microsoft Office 2010 RTM (build version 14.0.4763.1000) is already available on the internet; both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64), days ahead of MSDN & TechNet subscribers can officially download on April 22 2010. You can find more details about the leaked version of Microsoft Office 2010 RTM on MyDigitalLife. As usual, it's not advisable for several apparent reasons (tampered with malicious scripts etc).
