Microsoft late last week announced that the latest iteration of its popular Office productivity suite, Office 2010, has reached its release-to-manufacturing (RTM) milestone. Also included in the announcement are well-known applications such as SharePoint 2010, Visio 2010 and Project 2010.
Office 2010 was released as a public beta in November 2009, Takeshi Numoto, corporate vice president of Microsoft Office noted that it was downloaded by 7.5 million people since. This allowed Microsoft to test its software across every conceivable type of computer, which allows the company to identify and repair bugs much faster.
In a blog entry on the Microsoft Office 2010 Engineering blog, Numoto noted that Volume License customers with active Software Assurance (SA) on the above products will be able to download them in English starting from April 27, while Volume Licensing customers without SA can do so from May 1. The final version of Office 2010 will be officially launched to business customers on May 12, with general retail availability expected to follow in June.
