Microsoft Office 2010 goes on sale today!
Permalink   

Microsoft's next big version of its office suite officially goes on sale today in retail stores across the world. The highly anticipated release of Office 2010 has been through months of beta testing since November of last year. TechNet and MSDN subscribers were the first to get Office 2010 back in April this year.

What's new
With the new edition of Office, came numerous changes to the UI, applications and even x64 support. Throughout all the applications in the Office 2010 suite the ribbon is used, offering its users a similar experience at the top of the screen. The customizable ribbon lets you quickly access important tools and features for getting your Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other applications looking just right.

64-bit support
This is the first time Microsoft has made Office available in an x64-edition. The 64-bit edition only runs on x64 machines running Windows Vista or Windows 7 64-bit, which takes advantage of your processors speed. Office 2010 really does utilize your 64-bit processor, launching applications faster and being able to work with larger amounts of data in Excel 2010.

Editions
Much like the Windows operating system, Office 2010 comes in many different flavours for you to choose from. The editions start from the Starter Edition, giving you basic support in Word and Excel, but includes advertisements - and is completely free. And working all the way up to the Professional Plus, offering you every thing that the Office suite has (excluding Visio and Project 2010), which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, Access, Communicator, InfoPath and SharePoint Workspace (Groove).

Best price I could find on Office 2010:
Office Home & Student 2010 Product Key Card (No Media)
If your new PC does not have Office 2010 pre-installed a download is available at www.office.com/backup.
Given the staggered availability of PCs preloaded with Office 2010, Microsoft is temporarily allowing customers who purchase the Office Product Key with a PC the ability to download the Office 2010 software if their PC is not preloaded with Office 2010. The download is available at www.office.com/productkeycard for a limited time. A valid 25-character Product Key is required to download and install the software.
