The MS Office 2010 productivity suite, that Microsoft announced it will definitely drop in the second half of 2010, has recently received a new dedicated blog. This is the first good news we have to report about Office 2010, formerly known as codename Office 14; the second is that you can now register for a technical preview of Office 2010.

Starting with the blog, you must know that the web page is up and running (visit here), but for the time being you can only view the official presentation of the blog (reproduced below) and the announcement that registration for Office 2010 technical preview has kicked off.

“This blog is being created by the Office team to help our IT professionals and enthusiasts get a better idea of what we are building with Office 2010 and discuss the key issues that matter to you. We are all incredibly excited to start talking about the new version of Office and hope you will participate here,” says the official presentation of the Office 2010 blog.

Moving on, Office enthusiasts would very much like to know that a technical preview will be made available to a select few; in this category are included participants to the Microsoft TechEd North America 2009 show, and those who sign up with Microsoft here.

“The Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview is a limited, invitation only program which will provide you with the opportunity to experience early, pre-release versions of Office 2010 which will include the following applications: Word 2010, Excel 2010, Outlook 2010, PowerPoint 2010, OneNote 2010, Communicator 2010, Access 2010, InfoPath 2010 and Publisher 2010. By registering you are signing up to be considered for the Technical Preview Program, you will be waitlisted for consideration to be invited into the Technical Preview Program. We will notify invitees in early to mid July,” explains Microsoft.
