YOUR OFFICE SOFTWARE IS NOW WEB- ENABLED(Mail Today (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ON November 19, Microsoft launched a public beta of its popular Office software suite. Called Office 2010, the Redmond- headquartered company rolled out for the first time in its history a preview of the Office software to literally millions of people around the world. What's more, it is free to use until October 31, 2010. Since it is available for free download on www. microsoft. com, and we are all suckers for free stuff, I would say download it and use it free for a year. Office 2007 was a significant improvement over Office 2003, and Office 2010 has features that could grind its predecessor down to silicon. But the best part is that it is webenabled. It is not as strong as Google Docs which is totally webenabled, but Office 2010 has bucked the trend at Microsoft by making upgrades that everyone will demand in a few months from now. In that sense, I already see a clear winner. The Steve Ballmer- headed Microsoft may have sometimes gone wrong with its operating system ( Windows Vista) and definitely with its browser ( Internet Explorer), but its Office software suite is a gem. sachin. kalbag@ mailtoday. in (c) 2009 India Today Group.
