I don’t know if this is first for a Microsoft Mac product but after announcing general availability of Office for Mac 2011 yesterday, Microsoft today has released the final RTM bits of Office for Mac 2011 for their MSDN and TechNet subscribers.
Microsoft today has announced retail availability of Office 2011 for Mac. Used on more than 1 billion Macs and PCs worldwide, Microsoft Office is the most-trusted productivity suite, and it helps you do even more with your Mac, your way.
We informed everyone earlier about the availability of Microsoft Office 2010 on MSDN and TechNet on the 22nd of this month (April). Today is that day! and you can download the RTM version of Office 2010 now from MSDN and TechNet as we speak.
In a surprise move, Microsoft and Facebook today has announced Docs.com – a social word-processing platform from where you can share your Office documents on Facebook with other people. The idea behind the whole thing is to let people share their Office documents on Facebook, it is really that simple. Editing and creating documents is now a piece of cake.
The Release Candidate (RC) bits of Office 2010 along with Office Web Applications are now available for technical beta participants via Microsoft Connect. Microsoft at the moment is in the process of sending out invites for Office 2010 RC program, so if you have received one then you can now immediately download and evaluate Office 2010 RC Build 14.0.4734.1000 before the public availability. Office 2010 RC is available in both 32 and 64-bit flavors.
A new Build 14.0.4730.1007 of Office 2010 has been leaked by WZOR, a site infamously known for many leaked builds of Windows 7 during its testing stages. While the stuff which is new to this build is not known yet, but a new EULAID:O14_RTM_VL.1_RTM_EN, shown in “Microsoft Software License Terms” indicates that Office 2010 may probably have internally entered RTM branch.
As was expected, Microsoft today on Day 2 of Professional Developers Conference (PDC09) has released Microsoft Office 2010 Beta to public via Microsoft Download Center. General public can now test and evaluate the latest version of Office 2010 to help make the product better before it hits RTM sometime next year. The Build number of Office 2010 Beta is 14.0.4536.1000 which is newer than the previously leaked build 14.0.4514.1009.
The Beta bits of Office 2010 Beta along with Office Web Applications are now up on MSDN and TechNet Plus. TechNet Plus and MSDN subscribers can now download and evaluate Office 2010 Beta before the official public availability on November 18th. The most significant change in this Beta Build from the Technical Preview is the new installation procedure for test versions of Office 2010 SKUs, Upload Center, modified version of Backstage view and new refreshed icons for all Office products. Office 2010 Beta is available in both 32 and 64-bit flavors.
The latest Office 2010 Beta Build 14.0.4417.1000 which was leaked about a week ago features refreshed icons for all Office applications. And like any previous version of Office, all the icons from this latest leaked build have been extracted and are available for download at deviantART. The Office 2010 Applications Icon Pack includes 60 high-resolution icons in both PNG and ICO format.
WZOR is at it again. Reportedly, A new Beta Build 14.0.4417.1000 of Microsoft Office 2010 has leaked in the wild. This Build features refreshed icons for all Office applications, slightly modified version of Backstage view, Upload Center (for Office Web Apps?) and a new logo for Office 2010.
