Office 2010 beta is here!
It’s time to have a play.
The public beta has launched and now you can get hold of Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010. You can download it from www.microsoft.com/2010 and try out some of the new features such as:
· Conversation threading in Outlook
· Improved rules management in InfoPath
· The ribbon UI in SharePoint
· InfoPath “quick” publish functionality
· The Business Connectivity Services for SharePoint (a much improved version of the BDC)
· The new SharePoint Workspace
· Tighter integration between SharePoint and Office (including InfoPath list editing)
· New InfoPath controls
· Slicers in Excel
· The Office “backstage” tab
Personally, I’m really excited about some of the major improvements in InfoPath 2010. I think this means I’ve spent way too much time dealing with forms in the past if I get this excited about a piece of forms creation software!
