It is being reported that a version of Microsoft Office 2010 has leaked onto the Internet, although this may not be the final version reviews are already starting to emerge. One of the main intentions of Microsoft Office 2010 is to fit in with the upcoming Windows 7.
One of the applications that has noticed the biggest change is Outlook, the new version of Outlook is said to have a refined design and has re-arranged a few commonly used things to improve usability. One of the most impressive new features is called Quick Steps, quick steps work similar to a macro, basically the idea of it is to streamline repetitive tasks so that they are achievable in one click.
One of the major new things that Office 2010 offers is a 64-bit version of the software, this is the first time Microsoft have created a 64-bit version of Office, there is not much to say about the new 64-bit version as it is pretty self explanatory.

Nothing beneficial for most businesses - no reason to upgrade/purchase -
Like Vista - all bling - no function.
If they wanted to improve Office they SHOULD have -
1. Made outlook open multiple e-mail accounts as full exchange -not an additional mailbox with some functionality or pop/imap with very limited functionality but two seperate exchange profiles simultaneously from multiple exchange servers.
2. Full OLE support for pictures in access - umm wasn’t that functional with Office XP - why take that out? Why should someone have to code to add pictures to a personal database? Might was well use oracle or a real database if you are going to have to use code. Adding Office XP photo editor is the work around but why not just add photo editor back into office if that is the solution?
3. Offer the old menu bar for people (most of my clients) who don’t want to learn the new menu bar. You can finally modify the ribbon to some extent in 2010 however my clients just want their old ribbon bar. Frankly I have no issue with the new menu bar but I’m one person and most of my clients don’t like it so prefer to stick with office 2003. MS could make money selling the new version if they just offered the old menu as a choice with the new ribbon.
