Today not only marks the release of Apple's iPhone 4 pre-orders but also Microsoft's Office 2010, Visio 2010, and Project 2010 software release. The software can be purchased from more than 35,000 retail stores worldwide. The productivity suite hit RTM last month in 14 languages, with 10 being currently available to consumers and eventually support for over 94. Microsoft's Office 2010 is also the first released which comes with 32-bit and 64-bit software, all in one DVD. Newly purchased PCs from major OEMs now come with the ad-supported Office Starter 2010 or a more full-featured version. The company expects more than 100 million PCs to ship with Office 2010 preloaded over the next year alone. Consumers can purchase four of the SKUs at retail, or they can upgrade to three of them via a Key Card purchase or download.
On top of the six different editions of Office 2010 mentioned above, Microsoft announced that Office Mobile 2010 will be available for free on all Windows Mobile 6.5 phones via the Windows Phone Marketplace. For those of you who don't know or don't remember, Office Web Apps also launched for free last week. For those of you who are currently using Office 2010 beta, keep in mind that the beta is set to expire on October 31, 2010, giving users plenty of time to move to the final version. If you are using a previous build, you'll need to uninstall and then install the RTM version separately.
