Last weekend K-MUG had conducted the Microsoft Office 2010 community launch at Technopark Trivandrum. Office 2010 includes extended file format support, user interface updates, and a refined user experience. Office 2010 marks the debut of free online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, which work in popular web browsers. Microsoft Office 2010 is a productivity suite from Microsoft. This is the latest edition in the suite of office products. Right from the office 97 till the 2010 version, the product has evolved a long way from just a software towards being a platform
We got mixed audience and mainly developers, students and technology enthusiasts as our audience. Vijay Raj , Microsoft MVP, had demonstrated some of the cool features of the Office 2010 as part of the launch. Thanks to Abhishek Kant and Mera windows team for supporting the community launch.
