Announcing Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview

Today, Microsoft is proud to announce the release of Office 2010 Technical Preview – our first official preview release of the next wave of Office PC, mobile and web-based productivity offerings. Of course, as part of this release, I’m personally excited to tell the Outlook community more about our latest work in Outlook 2010 – we talked a bit about what’s new when the Exchange 2010 Beta was announced, and today there is even more information to share and ways to get involved. You can start by watching this introductory video on Outlook 2010:


See What's New in Microsoft Outlook 2010

Outlook 2010 has an amazing set of world-class communications tools and time-saving productivity improvements to offer, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to start this next step in our journey towards releasing this product. From personal productivity tools like the ribbon and Quick Steps, to business-class communications with Office Communicator and Exchange Server, Outlook 2010 provides you with a world-class experience to stay productive and stay in touch with all of your networks.

Over the next several months, the Outlook engineering team will post a series of blog articles outlining various features and scenarios that are essential new components of the Outlook 2010 experience. I’d like to invite you all to stay involved by joining us on your favorite social network below, as well as staying tuned to this blog.

Lastly, while the Office 2010 Technical Preview is a limited release, we will continue to provide more information about broader access for trying out Outlook and Office as we near the Beta 2 milestone later this fall. Thanks for reading, and we hope you enjoy learning more about Outlook and Office 2010!

I downloaded the latest version of Outlook Connector 12.1 and it does not work with Outlook 2010.

I keep getting an error message saying that I nee to have Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 installed. I have 2010 installed.

What can I use to fix this issue?

You're probably aware of this, but the link in the invitations being sent out are not working. It results in "Page not found"

I tried joining on LinkedIn, but clicking on the link in the article got me a message from LinkedIn that I wasn't a member of the group, and the link doesn't give me the name of the group so I can try to join it.  Please identify the group so I can follow on LinkedIn.

A major problem my family has with Outlook is the ability to share the same pst file across all the computers on our home network. also I'm not able to access my Outlook file from a remote location. Will Microsoft exchange -- like features be integrated into office 2010?

Are you guys censoring comments now? Interesting reaction.

Well, in case my last comment just got lost, I'll say it again: It's a shame a great product like Outlook 2007, and now Outlook 2010, is hobbled with a terrible HTML renderer. It's a bad decision.  www.fixoutlook.org

Looking forward to the new conversation view though, it's about time.

I have a request for your next release:

I call it "Task to calendar", with mobile date.

I mean:

Lets suppose I have to do 10 task. Each task having its own estimate duration. I would like Outlook having the option to shedule the task on my calendar on the next "free" period, so I could see when I will end the 10 th task.

SometI would like to have  the option to establish priority to the task, so they would schedule on the calendar acording to their priority.

I don't need relationship like  msproject, I want just Outlook to make a schedule with my task, by priority. and when ma boss gives me a new rush task, put it in outlook, and outlook remake the scheduls with all the pending tasks acording to the new priorities. You could put an button to the task: task to be scheduled or not. So one can use the calender AND the task, and another person could having them distinct.

It would be a wonderfull improvement. Actualy, there is NO agenda that offer that super usefull function..

Thanks

I only hope that the Office developers trink a coffee with the windows developers this time. I need no all entries, contacts, calenders,... twice on my system.
