Here are some news from the PDC 2009 (Professional Developers Conference) in Los Angeles: now, the public beta versions of Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 are released.




Office 2010 provides the best productivity experience across the PC, phone, and browser. It is full of new innovations that make using Office faster and easier than ever—including Office Backstage View, Ribbon UI across all applications, photo and video editing in PowerPoint, fast new data comparison tools in Excel, and improved mail/calendar management in Outlook. With the new Click-to-Run technology, home users will also have a dramatically faster download experience.

In addition, with this beta we are unveiling several exciting new features and products:

- Office Web Apps for business customers, available through SharePoint Server, allows //my and //sharepoint sites to host browser-based Web Apps accessible from virtually anywhere. (Office Web Apps for consumers is still in Technical Preview.)
- Outlook Social Connector, a new feature that brings communications history and social networking feeds into the Outlook experience.
- Office Mobile 2010, which includes mobile versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and SharePoint Workspace Mobile 2010 and is available on the Windows Mobile marketplace for Windows Mobile 6.5 phones.
