Confirmed: Office 2010 to ship in June

[Kari]

After several Web sites today claimed to having seen a possibly inadvertent notice from Microsoft claiming June as the release month for its forthcoming Office 2010 (we looked hard and couldn't find it ourselves), a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed to Betanews this afternoon that June is indeed the ship month.

The news comes two weeks after the company's PDC 2009 conference in Los Angeles, where we had expected not only to see the final shipping date but to hear a lot more about Office and Office Web Apps. What was on many attendees minds even after leaving the last day of the show was, what will make Office 2010 worth the upgrade, and what will not be in Office Web Apps that will be in Office 2010? In an interview during the conference, company communications senior director Janice Kapner told Betanews that to some extent, the answers to those questions are still being determined by users.

Awesome! I am using the Beta now, and it's really good. When it's fully released i'll be getting it for sure.

Hi there
Been using the beta -- like it except PLEASE MS give users the option to MANUALLY retrieve email from the server in OUTLOOK 2010 -- it connects and retrieves email automatically from the server when you first open OUTLOOK 2010 which is a bit of a hassle with POP3 accounts - and in any case if you are using different machines you might not want to automatically connect.

Apart from that I rather like it.

Cheers
