What Is New In Microsoft Office 2010?

by on Jun 18, 2010 | 3 comments

Much like new OS and browser releases, I like to keep tabs on the features available in the latest versions of Microsoft Office. So when Office 2010 was officially released earlier this week, I took a look at the new features available.

Overall, there is nothing I see which makes me want to upgrade from 2007. Currently 2007 natively supports the XML document formats, integrates wonderfully with Sharepoint and I have adjusted to the ribbon and absolutely love working with the styles. Office 2010 adds a lot of collaboration and organization features which seems to be the direction a lot online office suites are going.

Microsoft Office remains the standard for business use (OpenOffice is great for home/student/basic business needs, but let’s face it Office is the superior product), but unless you running a version other than 2007 I don’t see a compelling reason to upgrade.

Has anyone taken the plunge on Microsoft Office 2010? If so, what do you think?

    Yes, I now have Office 2010 because I bought Office 2007 two months ago at a discount price that included a free upgrade to Office 2010. I moved up from Office XP (2002).
