The next incarnation of Microsoft Office, Office 2010, has now gone public in a freely downloadable beta version, meaning anyone can try out time-limited versions of the next generation of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and the rest of the growing Office family. Microsoft has improved its new office a little better than Office 2007, the changes in 2010 is impressive as by the review of beta users. The now-familiar Ribbon interface gets a few tweaks in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and is now visible throughout Outlook. Instead of an Office 2007–style major overhaul, Microsoft offers refinements and enhancements.

If your 2007 user, you may find some significant tweaks in 2010, but the experience is the same as of 2007, but for office 2003 user, its high time to change your to new version and no doubt its 2010.

Some of the most technically impressive changes in Office 2010 involve online collaboration through SharePoint services for corporate use or a free Windows Live account for personal use. These new features aren’t accessible through the public beta of Office 2010, but we’ll report on them when Microsoft releases a beta of SharePoint 2010. Meanwhile, here’s a look at what’s new on an ordinary desktop installation of Office 2010. A few things have changed since the restricted-access Office 2010 Technical Preview surfaced back in July, but the essentials are mostly the same.

The SharePoint services helps you to access your file from anywhere which is stored in Microsoft Live share point server, which acts as a host for your files over internet. This was the major step to compete with Google docs
