Microsoft announced today at the Professional Developers Conference that they are unveiling the public beta of Office 2010, SharePoint Server 2010, Project 2010, Visio 2010, Office Web Apps for businesses and Office Mobile 2010 effective today!

People can download the beta products by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/2010
I would love to try the Windows Mobile 2010 but my Treo 800W only has Windows 6.1 mobile and not the required 6.5 mobile.
The feedback they get from this trial will be used to tweak the programs before their anticpated releases in mid 2010.
One new feature that might be pretty interesting to those of us using blogs and social media will probably be "Social Connector". Kurt DelBene, Sr. Vice President of the Office Business Productivity Group, Microsoft was quoted in the Microsoft Press Pass today as saying "Social Connector lets them connect with people faster, without switching programs or changing their routine. Essentially, with this new capability, people can collaborate and work better together. The Outlook experience customers are familiar with and use on a daily basis becomes the hub of their social networking experience. Outlook Social Connector brings their communications history, business and social networking feeds directly into Outlook to help them keep track of conversations and stay up to date with co-workers, friends and family."
I know I will be downloading a number of these new programs. As an EPRO Instructor, I am always looking for new things to share with my fellow Realtors, so don't hesitate to share your ideas as well directly with me and I will be sure to give you credit if you are the first one to bring things like this to may attention!
Enjoy!
