PowerPoint 2010 Technical Preview

 

Technical Preview Program

PowerPoint fans and community, we’re excited to announce that the PowerPoint team will be taking applications to participate in the Office 2010 Technical Preview program. We will be sending out a limited number of invitations to download and install the Office 2010 Technical Preview in early July.

For you, this is a first opportunity to experience the new, exciting features that we’ve been working on in PowerPoint. For us, this is an opportunity to get valuable feedback and early testing on PowerPoint 2010 that will directly impact our public beta later this year. We want testers of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds; so long as you use PowerPoint, we’d love to have you give us a test drive.

If you’re interested, go here to sign up for Microsoft Connect and apply to be part of the Technical Preview. When asked, select PowerPoint as the application you’re most interested in testing (Question 13 on the survey). Thank you for signing up and helping us test out our latest creations!

So the "no undo" is one of the exciting new features? :)

Can't wait to see this however I am a little scared of a another new version of Powerpoint. Our PowerPoint 2007 training bookings have only just passed PowerPoint 2003 bookings. I hope 2010 is similar to 2007 in layout at least.

Patrick - What do you mean by "no undo"?

Training Connection - Yes, we will be continuing with the Ribbon layout and tried to keep most of our commands in the same places when possible. 2007 was a big departure and change for us from 2003.

RE: Burning DVDs.

There's not a specific command to burn DVDs from within PowerPoint, but you'll find several new features that will help you create content suitable for mastering as a DVD in any number of DVD creation applications.

Thanks,

-Ric

Btw, is collaborative editing supported without SharePoint? Is SharePoint required? If yes, then that takes away one feature for non-enterprise users. :-(
