Microsoft has finally moved Office 2010 out of beta and now the product is available in the local market. But when it was in beta stage, around 8.6 million people tested this product on their system and reported issues, test results etc. Number is really huge for Office 2010 and it shows that Microsoft is not loosing its customer even after the direct attacks from Google Docs and OpenOffice.org.
Stephen Elop, Microsoft business division president, told the Wall St Journal on the offering from Google and Microsoft for businesses,
They have a lot of noise out there as it relates to their point of view, but when you look at the data and talk to customers, there’s no question Microsoft is winning the customers," Mr Elop said.
8.6 million people are already using Office 2010 and related products as part of Microsoft’s largest-ever testing program.
Still the Microsoft store is having pre-order button for Office 2010 products. Microsoft Store (United States) is showing three versions of Office 2010 for purchase,
- Office Home and Student 2010
- Office Home and Business 2010
- Office Professional 2010
