Microsoft<\/span> has denied rumours that it will not run a public beta programme for its forthcoming Office 2010 suite.<\/span><\/p>\n

A company spokesperson said that Microsoft<\/span> will follow its regular development pattern, and allow the public to get their hands on working beta copies of the office applications package.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

“Although we are not disclosing a date for the public beta, there definitely will be one. This development cycle for Office is no different than in years past, ” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“In the third quarter of this year, Office 2010 will enter technical preview, which is an invite-only programme, and this will be followed by a public beta where millions can try out Office.”<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s statement came shortly after word broke that the upcoming version of Office would not be available as a public beta.<\/p>\n

Office 2010 will be the first major update of the company’s productivity suite since Office 2007 was released alongside Windows Vista<\/a> in January 2007.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Like its predecessor, development of Office 2010 is taking place as Microsoft<\/span> readies its next version of Windows. The company is expected to publish the <\/span>first release candidates for Windows 7<\/a> in May, and possibly ship a final version<\/a> by the fourth quarter of this year.<\/p>\n
