MSNBC reports that the next version of Microsoft Office would be called "Office 2010" and will be released in first half of 2010. It'll not be released in conjunction with the Windows 7 operating system.

Office 2010 (previously known by the code name "Office 14") will include slimmed-down versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote that let people create and edit documents in a Web browser. Consumers will have access to a free, ad-supported version.

Also a new version of Exchange e-mail server will be available for purchase in the second half of 2009. When paired with the next version of Microsoft's Outlook e-mail program, Exchange 2010 aims to prevent e-mail faux pas and would warn people against trying to "reply all" to a huge distribution list. It can also be tweaked to stop people from sending e-mail outside the organization, helping businesses cut down on unnecessary e-mail and prevent leaks.

Microsoft plans to let hundreds of thousands of people test a technical preview of the new Office portfolio starting in the third quarter of 2009.

Thanks to "Jessica Mintz" @ MSNBC for this info...

  • Wow, a free ad-supported version, very cool.

  • This is the wrong article to put this in, but I need help fast. I forgot to make a system restore point and I replaced shell32.dll, now my computer is not loading explorer.exe. Do I have to re-install my XP Home Edition? I have no disc to do that though. :(

  • Kwesi, If you can log in through the login screen, check out my answer on Yahoo! Answers.

    I'm going to put up this link by tomorrow... sorry for the inconviniecne, I have to play Grand Theft Auto 3 right now... really sorry.

    You could search "Harry Manning" in with the search, along with "Task Manager" and "explorer.exe" and you should find it on Yahoo answers.

    Vishal could have some sort of solution for you in the meantime...

    @Kwesi
    You can obtain default "shell32.dll" file from any other XP system and then replace in your system. Or run following command in Command Prompt:

    sfc /scannow

    It should restore default file. To access Command Prompt, press "F8" key at system startup and select "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" option from the list.

  • Didn't work :(
