Microsoft Office 2010 Starts Ascension to the Cloud By Ashlee Vance Microsoft’s saunter toward providing all of its Office software online continues this week with a preview of its Office 2010 software.
Unlike more Webby types that throw their code willy-nilly into the Internet cloud under a beta tag, Microsoft remains committed to its protracted, multistep software release process. On Monday, Microsoft will announce the “technical preview engineering milestone” for Office 2010, which means that tens of thousands of people — many of them software engineering partners — can download the software and give it a test drive.
At the end of the year, Microsoft expects to release a proper public beta for the software, and it intends to ship a final version off to PC makers in the first half of 2010.
