We give you a sneak peek at a "Technical Preview" build of Microsoft's upcoming Office 2010 suite before the company formally unveils it to the public.
We installed Office 2010 in a virtualised VMware instance on top of Windows XP Service Pack 3. We could have installed the suite on top of the Release Candidate of Windows 7, but we wanted to see how Office 2010 would work without the latest operating system sitting underneath it. The answer, it turns out, is "just fine".










Is it me, or do others find this newish Office layout jumbled and jarring?
Does anyone know if we can switch to Office 'classic' look and feel?
If not, what alternatives to Office are there I can get my staff to use?
