Techtree News Staff, Mar 19, 2010 1746 hrs ISTMS Works to be retired, replaced with Office Starter 2010
Come June, Microsoft will launch the latest version of its Office Suite - Microsoft Office 2010. The software, which is currently in beta, would have gone through all the necessary checks to be given the go ahead, by then. The beta was released back in November 2009
The revelation was made by the Chairman of Microsoft Corporation in India, Ravi Venkatesan. The latest version of the Office Suite will include online versions MS Word, Excel, Power Point and OneNote. The main idea of this being to curb the growing influence of Google Docs as an online alternative to MS Office. The announcement of Office 2010 will also signal the end of the Microsoft Works platform. Works will be replaced by Office Starter 2010, a basic home productivity software.
New features included in Microsoft Office 2010 are Refined Ribbon interface and Backstage View across all applications, a background removal tool, new templates, jump lists in Windows 7 and set if new animations in PowerPoint.
It was earlier this month that Microsoft unveiled Windows Azure for the first time in India, it's offering in the cloud computing arena. That was, however, targeted more at the corporate sector and was a technology that promised companies a dramatic 50 percent cut in the IT expenses.
We will need to wait and see if Microsoft's promise to make MS Office available by June turns out to be true.
