PowerPoint 2010: Just One Click Away
Thanks to advancements in application virtualization technology, you’ll have the option to run the full version of Microsoft Office 2010 without the need to wait for installation, even if you have previous versions of Microsoft Office already installed. Similar to streaming a video over the internet, we send you the data you need to start the applications first, and then continue to download or “buffer” the rest of the application in the background. With this new way of running Office, you don’t need an optical drive, you can save more space on your disk drive, and you’ll always be running the most up-to-date version that is available.
To learn more about this new deployment technology and other ways of acquiring Office 2010, check out this post on the Office Engineering Blog. You’ll learn there that new Windows computers will ship with Office Starter 2010 instead of the Microsoft Works application that once appeared on new PCs. For users who want to accomplish more with richer tools, such as creating presentations with PowerPoint 2010, upgrading to the full version of Office is simple and quick.
