Microsoft Office 2010 - Download And Technical Preview

Microsoft Office 2010 (previously referred to by its codename Office 14) is the next version of the Microsoft Office generation. It entered development phase during 2006 while Microsoft was finishing work on Microsoft Office 12, which was released as the 2007 Microsoft Office System.

The funniest thing about Microsoft Office is they didn’t have version number 13 which is skipped just because an unlucky number of 13.

Office 2010 now is in testing stage for alpha version since January 2009 and will begin rolling out to a wider cross-section of testers starting this July, according to Microsoft officials. Microsoft has said there will be a broad public beta of Office 2010 some time between the tech preview and release to manufacturing. RTM is slated for the first half of 2010. Microsoft has not disclosed how many betas are planned or the timing of the beta/betas for Office 2010.
