Download Microsoft Office 2010 Free

Kolkata (GaeaTimes.com) - Now you can download Microsoft Office 2010 free (both home office and professional versions), no kidding. You don’t need to search for Microsoft Office 2010 product key (to crack the software; read the article though as it gives free activation keys for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 and other Microsoft Premium products) when you can get the software for free, zip, zilch, nada.

Microsoft Office 2010 download is available in two versions. You can either download the MS Office version targeted for home, small business and school (Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 Beta) or you can download the Office version for enterprise and mid-sized business (Microsoft Office Professional 2010 Beta).

Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 Features and System Requirements

Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 contains tools and features help you run your business, connect with customers and organize your household more efficiently. Office Home and Business 2010 features new photo, video and text effects for creating documents and presentations.

Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 contains the following software:

• Microsoft Word 2010
• Microsoft Excel 2010
• Microsoft PowerPoint 2010
• Microsoft Outlook 2010
• Microsoft One Note 2010 - allows you to organize, store, search your ideas, information and notes in one convenient location, allows you to post and access from anywhere (sounds like a blog to me)

The Beta software is delivered via Click-to-Run, a streaming technology for use on high-speed internet connections. If you are not on a high-speed connection, you should download the Office Professional 2010 Beta instead.

Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Business System Requirements

Windows XP with Service Pack (SP) 3 (32-bit operating system only) or Windows Vista with SP1, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003 R2 with MSXML 6.0, Windows Server 2008, or later 32- or 64-bit Windows Operating System.

Other requirements are:

• At least 500 megahertz (MHz) processor is required. Seriously though don’t even think of running it on a P3 processor, shame on you.
• At least 256 megabyte (MB) RAM or higher, more the merrier.
• 1.5 GB Hard-disk will be required for installation. Some disk space will be freed after installation if the original download package is deleted.
• 1024×768 or higher resolution monitor is required.

Note: Use of graphics hardware acceleration requires DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card with 64 MB or higher video memory.

The bottom-line is that if your hardware can run Microsoft Office 2007 then it will run Office 2010 also.

Microsoft Office Professional 2010 combines all the products you need to create, edit and share documents from virtually anywhere. You get tools to run your business and any project efficiently.

Microsoft Office 2010 Professional System Requirements

The requirements are the same as the Office 2010 Home and Business edition. Personally I think you should go with beefier specs with professional edition.
