Microsoft has provided its major partners pre-evaluation version of the new office software package developed by Office 2010 Technical Preview 1. For comfortable work with Office 2010 you do not need to change the hardware, since the system requirements since the release of Office 2007 have not changed. As in the case with Windows 7, Microsoft realized that to realize the benefits of an existing hardware is just as important as support for new technologies.

1. Office 2010 will be available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
2. Office 2010 will run on Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
3. You don't need to replace hardware that is capable of running 2007, it will support Office 2010. Like Windows 7 has demonstrated, we realize that taking advantage of the hardware you already own is just as important as supporting all the new technology coming out.

Microsoft Office 2010 is the next version (as of April 2009) of the Microsoft Office productivity suite for Microsoft Windows. It entered development during 2006 while Microsoft was finishing work on Microsoft Office 12, which was released as the 2007 Microsoft Office System.Office 2010 will be more "role-based" than previous versions.

Office 2010 will implement the ISO compliant version of Office Open XML which was standardized as ISO 29500 in March 2008. Microsoft plans to offer a Web-based version of its Office productivity suite, known as Office Web, that will debut with the release of Office 2010 Office Web will include online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote.
