The technical preview of Microsoft's upcoming office suite, the logically monikered Office 2010, isn't set for release until July. But it has made its way on to the Web, apparently on Friday.
CNET UK's sister site ZDNet Australia captured screenshots of the build by installing the leaked preview in a virtualised VMware instance on top of Windows XP Service Pack 3. Our enterprising colleague Renai LeMay could have installed the suite on top of the release candidate of Windows 7, but wanted to see how Office 2010 would work without the latest operating system sitting underneath it.
The answer, it turns out, is 'just fine'.
