Microsoft Office 2010

Microsoft Office 2010, codenamed Office 14, is a productivity suite for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X, and is the successor of Microsoft Office 2007 for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac OS X. Office 2010 includes extended file compatibility, user interface updates and a refined user experience. It will be available for Windows XP SP3 (32-bit), Windows Vista, and Windows 7. With the introduction of Office 2010, a 64-bit version of Office will be available for the first time, although only for Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. Office 2010 is not supported on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.

Microsoft's update to its mobile productivity suite, Office Mobile 2010 will also be released for Windows Phones running Windows Mobile 6.5.

Office 2010 will mark the debut of free online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, which will work in popular web browsers (Windows Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari) but not in the Opera browser or Netscape Navigator . Microsoft has confirmed that it will be released in the first half of 2010, and a public beta was made available in November 2009. A new edition of Office, Office Starter 2010, will replace the current low-end home productivity software, Microsoft Works.

New Processors Intel Core 2 Duo

The Core 2 Duo Line

Core 2 Duo processor line ranges from the 1.86-GHz E6300 with 2MB of cache to the 2.93-GHz Core 2 Extreme X6800 chip with 4MB of cache; all have a 1066-MHz system bus. (Intel leaves the "Duo" designation off of its X6800 CPU.)

Though Core 2 Duo chips use the same Socket 775 interface as current Pentium 4 and Pentium D chips, they require new chip sets, so you'll have to get a new motherboard--you can't just pop a Core 2 Duo chip into your existing Intel-based PC and reap the tremendous performance gains. The Core 2 Duo reference systems we tested used a motherboard with Intel's 975X Express chip set (boards using the P965 Express chip set will also be available); nVidia and ATI have their own Core 2 Duo boards as well.
