Microsoft Office 2010 version 14 is the newest and latest version of interrelated Office productivity software applications, suites, servers and services for Windows operating system. Office 2010 was finalized (RTM) on April 16, 2000, and was officially released to business customers on May 12, 2010, and retail consumers on June 15, 2010. It has the build version number of 14.0.4763.1000.

The setup installers of Office 2010 had first been released to privileged MSDN, TechNet and volume licensing customers, and almost simultaneously, the Office 2010 volume ISO, which allows installation of any Office 2010 individual apps or suites, have since leaked for free download. With general availability, Microsoft has also made available official direct download links for Office 2010 from Microsoft’s hosted servers.

Note that most of the Office 2010 direct download links are hosted on Digital River, an authorized distributor of Microsoft products. The downloads from the server is as good as downloads from Microsoft’s own server, untouched, unmodified, unchanged, genuine, safe and legal. However, as it’s not in ISO image format, thus the MD5, SHA1 and CRC file hash checksums are different between the executable and ISO image.

Microsoft also publishes the trial version of Office 2010 suite products at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/try/, which allows free usage for 60 days. A free product key will be given, and user is required to activate the trial version of Office 2010 within the first 30 days after the installation to utilize the full functionality of the Office 2010. The 60 days trial period will begin only after Office 2010 is activated.
