I downloaded the Microsoft offece2010 beta version in December 2009. Microsoft allowed people to download it since November 2009. More than 7.5 million people downloaded it which is 3 times more that the Microsoft office 2007 beta was downloaded.

More than 5,000 partners and organization worked for the developing and testing this software. Finally it reached the milestone to be released. Microsoft's Vice-President Takeshi Numoto told this in a blog post.

The Volume License customers with active Software Assurance (SA) will be able to download it from April 27. Other customers will be able to purchase it through Volume Licensing from Microsoft partners from May 1.

Office 2010 will first become available in retail stores in June in the US, and customers can pre-order these retail versions of Office 2010 at http://store.microsoft.com/OfficePreorder today to receive Office when it becomes available.
