Isn't this old news? I thought it was first avaialable in May. At least that's what I read in newspapers. Anyways, hope it helps others who haven't read about it.

The actual release is still far away, as it is scheduled to release in the first half of 2010. Hope they prepone it somehow.

The technical Preview is pretty raw looking and certainly nowhere near ready, I don't see any major differences yet.

Open office is far better than this.

I got an invite for the Tech Preview, so currently using Office 2010 - looks about the same, a little more polish I guess - but on the same system I was using Office 2007, the apps open up a LOT faster.. Overall it just seems zippier.. Makes sense to upgrade from 2003, as I think MS will Ribbon-ify everything they can touch now. If you're already using 2007 on a fairly powerful machine, then meh.. save your money for games I suppose

Have to disagree. OpenOffice comes nowhere close to the kind of productivity MS-Office gives you. More so if you are a big user of Excel. While OOO is lightweight, MS-office UI is much better. And the kind of bling that MS-Excel has for graphs and making graphics, OOO doesn't seem so much of fun...

Office 2010 is much faster then 2007. And some really cool stuff like sparkle and the screenshot tools are interesting..

Does the preview have the themes, the leaked version didn't have those?

Yeah I do agree this version seems much more snappier. But dunno if many corporations will upgrade to 2010 or not, coz there are not way too many advantages over it.

I dis-agree, nothing in the market is anywhere near Office's productivity, MS-Excel is simply irreplaceable atm.

Well going from, doing nothing to doing something, is a major change, especially when compared to doing everything...

I can't help but admire how MS integrates some of the tool/utilities in the new version. For e.g. Office Communicator . May be pretty useful when teams are working on common documents.
