Microsoft announced public beta download for its next generation Office suite, Office 2010. We earlier had the opportunity to test the technical preview of Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft Office Web apps. The new beta version is faster and needs less memory than its predecessor. Those who are without TechNet or MSDN subscription can also download Office 2010 beta versions. They will need to sign up with Office beta website and get product activation key to proceed with installation. These product keys are valid until the official release of Office 2010 on next year March. Office 2010 professional edition that is now available for download is around 700MB in size.
