Microsoft Office 2010, I installed it on a computer at work it is running Intel 1.80GHz, 512 MB of DDR2, Windows XP. My first impressions of the software is that it seems that it is running faster. When I talked to a co-worker last night at the Geek Squad he stated that because of the animation before it launches each individual program, that it seems faster but in actuality, it is not. After the program opens, it reminds you of Office 2007 with the ribbon layout. When I just started to typing in Word it seemed to be keeping up with me fairly well, even was I was just clicking keys as fast as I possibly could. Another awesome addition that I saw in Word is how easy it is to encrypt something. All you have to do is go to fine which is a drop down menu and under info is permissions and you can encrypt with a password. When you close the document then reopen it, it will obviously ask for the password that you put. So much easier then the previous versions of office that I have noticed. The colors are not blue like they were in 2007, it is an off white, which doesn’t bother me at all nor does it matter one way or the other. I have not noticed any bugs “yet” either. Most of the default settings that you saw from Office 2007 are the same in 2010 like Calibri (Body) as the default font. The more I play with it, I will be posting more.
