Microsoft has announced that Office 2010 has been released to manufacturing (RTM) - the last milestone before it hits general availability.
Alongside Office 2010, MIcrosoft also said SharePoint 2010, Visio 2010 and Project 2010 had also hit the RTM stage.
Announcing the milestone, Takeshi Numoto, Office corporate vice president, said that 7.5 million people have downloaded the beta since November. "The feedback that we've received from all these programs has shaped the set of products we're excited about, and that I'm sure will delight our customers," he wrote in a blog post[/a].
Office and the others will be available for volume license customers - over 250 seats - who are part of Microsoft's Software Assurance programme as of 27 April. All other volume licence customers will have to wait until 1 May.
For the rest of business customers, Office 2010 will offically launched on 12 May. Retail sales will kick off in June, but only in the US. Preorders have already kicked off - find out more about Office 2010 pricing here.
