Microsoft Office 2010 released

Businesses now have the opportunity to install the latest software after Microsoft released Office 2010.

The suite of programmes, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint, is popular in the workplace for editing documents and spreadsheets, creating presentations and many other functions.

Alongside this, a number of related products, including new versions of SharePoint, Visio and Project, have also been released around the world.

Stephen Elop, president of the Microsoft Business Division, unveiled the products, which have completed their beta phase, in New York on Wednesday (May 12th).

He said: "Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 define the future of productivity.

"With the 2010 set of products, organisations will save, innovate and grow as their people benefit from working across the PC, phone and browser."

One of the main features of the new release is that it has cloud-based functionality, meaning documents can be viewed and edited over an internet connection.

Of course, there are a number of alternative office productivity suites available to businesses, including the free OpenOffice and IBM Lotus Symphony.
