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 will be available for the first time.[5] 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 the three most popular web browsers (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari). Microsoft plans to release Office 2010 in the first half of 2010.

History

Development started in 2006 while Microsoft was finishing work on Office 12, released as Microsoft Office 2007. The version number 13 was skipped due to the aversion to the number 13.[7] It was previously thought that Office 2010 (then called Office 14) would ship in the first half of 2009,[8] however Steve Ballmer has officially announced that Office 2010 will ship in 2010 with a more specific countdown (days) provided at www.office2010themovie.com.[9].

On January 10, 2009, screenshots of an Office 2010 alpha build were leaked by a tester.[10]

On April 15, 2009, Microsoft confirmed that Office 2010 will be officially released in the first quarter of 2010. They announced on May 12, 2009 at a Tech Ed event [11], that Office 2010 will begin technical testing during July. It will also be the first version of Office to ship in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. [12][13]

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.[14]

Office 2010 will implement the ISO compliant version of Office Open XML which was standardized as ISO 29500 in March 2008.[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[15][3][16]

On May 15, 2009, the first Technical Preview was leaked to torrent websites.[17] An internal post-Beta build was leaked on July 12, 2009, newer than the official preview build and including a "Limestone" internal test application[18].

On July 14, 2009, Microsoft sent out invitations on Connect to test an official preview build of Office 2010 [19].

Office Web Applications

Microsoft plans to offer a free web-based version of its Office productivity suite, known as Office Web Applications, that will debut with the release of Office 2010.[20] Office Web will include online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. The web applications will allow sharing and collaboration of documents and files. The web applications will also feature user interfaces similar to their desktop counterparts.
