Office 2010 Beta has been made available for download couple of days ago, legally by Microsoft. If you have yet to try the new Office 2010, you can get it from Office 2010 Beta webpage. There are 2 version available for download, one for developer and another one for IT professional.

Be sure that you have Windows Live account as it require you to sign in with Live account to initiate the download process.  Along the download steps, you’ll also be given unique MAK key to activate the copy of your download. Failed to do so will make the copy of Office 2010 beta expired automatically.

Although Microsoft recommend removing any previous version of Office, I found that Office 2010 installed successfully along side Office 2007 that I currently have. I can run both version without error, but I can’t tell if there is function broken on both side.

There are tonnes of features to explore, so watch this blog if you would like to know more.
