Office 2010 Technical Preview

May 11, 2009 Paul Thurrott | Paul Thurrott's Supersite for Windows

Microsoft will ship an Office 2010 Technical Preview in July (they told me previously it would be a CTP). Attendees of TechEd will get the release automatically. But you can sign up to get on the waiting list if you'd like, too.

The Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview is a limited, invitation only program which will provide you with the opportunity to experience early, pre-release versions of Office 2010 which will include the following applications:  Word 2010, Excel 2010, Outlook 2010, PowerPoint 2010, OneNote 2010, Communicator 2010, Access 2010, InfoPath 2010 and Publisher 2010.

By registering you are signing up to be considered for the Technical Preview Program, you will be waitlisted for consideration to be invited into the Technical Preview Program. We will notify invitees in early to mid July.

Please click below to make your request to be waitlisted for the Technical Preview.

Andreas It's been well over 3 years since Office 2007 went into beta so it's overdue if anything.

No Visio 2010? Dang. I could use Open Document Format .odg support in there. Exporting .odg to PDF sucks!

Office 2007 took a while to get used to, now I hate going back to 2003 or (gag me) Open orifice.

@mikegalos - Why are you jumping to the conclusion that Andreas J is being negative...always so protective of everything Microsoft...geesh! --tayme

tayme, I didn't assume it was negative. I did assume it was expressing surprise that time had passed so quickly. I was pointing out just how long it had been Why are you both drawing assumptions about what I think that aren't in the post and thinking you have some right to act as my therapist? Need a hobby or something?

Does anyone know what is going to be new in Office 2010? Anything that is worth switching over from Office 2007? @robertsjoe: Seems to me you are just a closet Microsoft lover.

@mikegalos - "Why are you both drawing assumptions about what I think that aren't in the post and thinking you have some right to act as my therapist? " Just following your lead there, buddy...You did exactly that on this post and much the same on every thread that you comment. Another double standard from you...it figures - that is your SOP. --tayme

The prospect of Office 2010 is uninteresting in 2009. I live in my browser, as do many of us, My choice of browsers, in descending order of usefulness to me, is Firefox, Chrome, IE8, Safari, Opera. I rarely use Office apps anymore and I am not alone. Microsoft will have to do something spectacular to change this trend. I doubt they can.

Richard, No offense, but what type of job do you have that work/live in your browser and "rarely" use Office apps, like Word or Excel?
