Office 2010 RC version revealed

Microsoft has just released the RC version of Office 2010 office application. However, this version is only for testers belonging to Microsoft TAP team .

Microsoft said it first created the RC version for members of TAP. This is one of the important events planned in the production process. Accordingly, the official Office 2010 version will be released in June.

However, Microsoft has no plans to deploy this RC version to other users. Therefore, users have to wait until June when the company releases the official version of Office 2010.

According to Microsoft, the trial version of Office 2010 has been available online since November last year and users can download the trial. Users who download this test version can preview the company's Office applications on the web. They only need to use a Windows Live account to access the website containing Office applications. Here, users can create, edit, store and retrieve their documents online.

Microsoft said that Office 2010 office application will have 4 versions with prices from 99 to 499 USD. However, configuration requirements for Office 2010-installed computers are 2 times higher than Office 2003 and 1.5 times higher than Office 2007.

The biggest difference between Office 2010 and older versions is that they require a GPU (graphics processor) when working with charts in Excel or PowerPoint. Microsoft designed Office 2010 to work only on systems with DirectX 9.0c and a minimum graphics card of 64 MB. Therefore, they require the user's computer to have a higher configuration. This can be considered an unhappy news for consumers.
