Microsoft Office 2010 beta Download Free

Microsoft announced that the beta of Office 2010 is now publicly available from the company’s Web site. Office 2010 suite includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and others. Among the features new to the beta is a social networking connector that allows users to bring in Windows Live and other social networking feeds into Outlook. When you’re reading an e-mail message to or from someone, the Connector appears at the bottom of your message in its own separate pane. The pane displays a history of your communications with that person in Outlook — e-mail messages, attachments exchanged, meetings scheduled in Outlook, and so on. You can see all these items in one big list or click a tab to view just one type — for example, just e-mails you’ve exchanged with that contact — then click an item to go directly to it.
