Microsoft will launch Office 2010 May 12
Microsoft will officially launch Office 2010 to businesses at an event slated for May 12, the company announced last week.
Enterprises with volume license agreements will be able to obtain the finished product that same day, Microsoft added. Office 2010 is set to go on general sale to consumers and business without licensing deals sometime in June.
As expected, Microsoft also unveiled a program that provides a free upgrade to Office 2010 for customers who purchase the older Office 2007 between now and Sept. 30.
Earlier last week, Microsoft's chief financial officer had confirmed that the Office 2010 Technology Guarantee Program would launch this month. Last month, details of the free Office 2010 upgrade program leaked to the Web when a Microsoft technology specialist briefly posted information to the firm's partner community site.
