Microsoft Hong Kong announced today the release of Office 2010 Public Beta for free download right here. So, now you have yourself the new Windows 7, and you’re going to want to make your Office suite of software look just as good. This preview will run on your PC until October 31, 2010 when Microsoft will ask you to fork over real money for the final release.
While Google Docs has a huge headstart, cloud computing hasn’t really taken Hong Kong by storm (yet), and so Microsoft still has good marketshare. If this new version of Office can give users all the new social media bells and whistles that cloud computing productivity suites have, then they could still be in the game at least until the Google Chrome OS comes out.
There are several new features in Office 2010, but the big one is Outlook Social Connector which brings communications history, business collaboration and social network feeds directly into Outlook, with support for Windows Live and SharePoint Server. This feature brings business and social networking to the work force. Does that mean we’re going to be even less productive? Let the boss decide.
