If you’ve been eyeing a copy of Microsoft Office 2007, there’s no better time than the present to make a purchase. In a blog post yesterday, Microsoft announced that customers who buy and activate Office 2007 will receive a free upgrade to Office 2010.

Gaining eligibility to the program — called “Office 2010 Technology Guarantee” — is easy. Simply purchase Office 2007 or a new PC with the software and activate it between today and September 30, 2010. You will also need a Windows Live ID, and the offer must be redeemed by October 31, 2010.

Additionally, Microsoft confirmed that Office 2010, SharePoint 2010, Visio 2010, and Project 2010 are all on schedule and will hit RTM next month. The 2010 set of products will be available to businesses on May 12, and as expected, consumers can get their mitts on the productivity suite in June — possibly June 15.

Pricing for Office 2010 will be as followed:

• Professional: $499 boxed, $349 for product key
• Professional Academic: $99 boxed only
• Home and Student: $149 boxed, $119 for product key
• Home and Business: $279 boxed, $199 for a product key

网易科技讯 1月26日消息，据台湾媒体报道，微软日前正式在台湾发表Office 2010，中文版预计将在今年上半年推出，并且会与英文版一起同步上市。

微软不久前已经公布Office 2010的4种版本价格，包括家用暨学生版，盒装售价为149美元、金钥授权为119美元；家用暨商业版的盒装售价为279美元、金钥授权版为199美元；专业版盒装售价为499美元、金钥授权为349美元；专业学术版盒装售价则为99美元。

本次在台湾发表，微软也展示了Office 2010与后端SharePoint 2010协作的能力，通过两者的沟通，使用者可以同时编辑同一个文本档案，而不用受到网络芳邻锁定文本的限制。此外，PowerPoint的简报，也可以通过SharePoint的协助，通过网络广播到不同使用者的各种装置上，甚至也可以在手机上观看。此外，Office 2010的Excel也做了大幅的改良，现在能够直接在储存格上就显示出图表，以及通过PowerPivot做到简易的BI资料显示能力。

个人使用者虽然无法通过SharePoint达到文件共同编辑协作的效果，不过台湾微软Office产品行销经理卢昊表示，未来微软预计将会推出供Windows Live用户免费使用的网络储存空间服务Sky Drive，使用者可以通过这样的空间达到文件协作的效果。不过提供此项服务的时间，微软尚未透露。
