Office 2010 Public Beta Available for Download in Nov

Office 2010 Public Beta Available for Download in November​

Microsoft is gearing up toward the release of the first public testing Build of the next iteration of the Office System. The Redmond company confirmed officially, at the SharePoint Conference 2009 in Las Vegas, that it would start offering public downloads of Office 2010 Beta as early as next month. Come November 2009, the general public will get the chance to download, install and test drive Office 2010 Beta for free, the software giant confirmed. Microsoft did not reveal the specific availability deadline for Office 2010 Beta, and as such, testers and early adopters will have to ******** patience a little longer.

The past week, a new development milestone of Office 2010 made it out of Redmond and into the wild. Office 2010 Build 14.0.4514.1009 was leaked and offered for download from various illegal third-party sources, but especially BitTorrent trackers. It was not the first time that a Build of Office 2010 was leaked to torrent websites, but it is the most recent testing milestone that became available outside of Microsoft and the company’s closed circle of testers, signaling that progress was indeed being made on the development of the productivity suite.

Woot! Woot!

I can't wait.

Excellent news! Can't wait for that native 64-bit support! Especially since I didn't get into the Tech Preview program a few months back.

I agree on the 64-bit version. I did get the Technical Preview and liked some of the new look and feel, but it had a lot of work in process, too.

Looking forward to the Public Beta.

Awesome! I am totally going to download the BETA when it comes available. I am really starting to enjoy Microsoft's idea to release betas. Makes me more interested in actually buying a finished product.

Very nice to hear. I managed to get the Technical Preview from Microsoft Connect and I really like it. I thought it would be nice to test it while doing my school work. I haven't had a major problem yet, just a few minor problems like not being able to access the help files (I just sent a bug report to Microsoft about that).

I am definitely downloading this once it comes out. I just hope I can open the programs faster. Right now, it opens waaaaaay slower than Office 2007.

Interesting, I got the tech preview and my copy opens blazing fast. Overall, it impressed me so much that I ditched 2007 on my home PC. Looking forward to ditch that one for the beta.

Like many others, I'm looking forward to trying the 64bit version.

 

[t41]

i actually just loaded the tech preview i downloaded from some "?" site at least a month or so ago, just put in now, and it seems to work just fine so far.

I shouldn't speak too soon though - before I've fully tested - lol

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Like many others, I'm looking forward to trying the 64bit version.

I've had it for a couple days; it seems so far so good on my machine.

Thanks. I've had a couple "you-really-should-not-have-this" versions, anxious to get a legit public beta.

By any chance, is there an option to enable classic menus and toolbars in this new office?
