Today is the Global Virtual Launch for Office 2010 & SharePoint 2010, plus Office 2010 free trial is now available! By David Bennie

It’s an exciting day today – it’s finally the UK launch of Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010.

To find out what the fuss is all about, at 3.00pm BST today, you can watch the global keynote address, join the virtual launch conversation, and participate in on-demand sessions to learn more about how these productivity solutions help you address the unique challenges you face in your medium business. As well as hearing from Microsoft customers from around the globe, you’ll be able to hear from UK customers about their experiences with 2010 in Gordon Frazer's UK keynote, then hear from UK partners ready to start helping organisations benefit themselves, in Scott Dodds' UK keynote.

Stephen Elop’s Keynote will focus on how peers and partners use Microsoft products to:

· Extend people’s business productivity across PC, phone, and browser

· Enhance IT choice and flexibility

· Provide a platform for developers to build innovative solutions

Don’t miss out, grab a coffee at your desk and get involved, and whilst you’re waiting for the fun to begin, why not start downloading the Office 2010 free trial.
