You’ve most likely heard the news by now.  At the Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans, Microsoft announced that the next version of Office reached its Technical Preview engineering milestone.  You can read the highlights in this press release (and I’ll include some more links below).  I’m guessing the first question on people’s minds is “how do I get a copy?”.  Currently the Technical Preview program is “by invitation only” and is not broadly available to the public.  There is a waitlist you can sign up for, found here . If you can’t get your hands on a copy, all is not lost.  The other exciting bit of news that goes along with the Technical Preview release is the Excel team is now able to start blogging about the exciting work we’ve done in this release, so you’ll be able to learn all about Excel 2010 here.  Consider this post the official transition of this blog into “2010 mode” (though we’ll still be posting Power Tips in the meantime as well).  I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.  We have a lot of ground to cover.  I hope the next few months are as exciting for you as they will be for me.
