Office 2010 Build 14.0.4730.1007 100-Screenshot Gallery
In fact, the software giant is keeping details on the evolution of Office 2010 under a tight lid, although it managed to unveil additional aspects of the new product such as pricing information. Still, a new leak of Office 2010 manages to do what Microsoft isn’t, namely offers confirmation that the next iteration of the productivity suite is indeed moving along toward RTM.
The Release to Manufacturing milestone mentioned in the End User
License Agreement accompanying Office 2010 Build 14.0.4730.1007 continues to be without a definitive deadline. While it is highly unlikely that the Redmond company hasn’t this far along in the product’s development process settled on an RTM date, the public is yet to receive any sort of official details.
Microsoft’s silence continued even after the leak of Office 2010 Build 14.0.4730.1007, which is currently available for download via all major BitTorrent trackers and warez websites, for those that know where to look. Softpedia will of course not provide a link to any illegal third-party sources offering Office 2010 bits. At the same time, users should be aware of the risks associated with downloading leaked or otherwise pirated software from untrusted sources, including identity theft, malware infections and financial loss via stolen credit-card data.
Build 14.0.4730.1007
Office 2010 Build 14.0.4536.1000 public Beta was released at the Professional Developers Conference 2009 in Los Angeles. Build 14.0.4730.1007, the recently leaked bits of Office 2007’s successor, is superseding the public Beta, and has most probably been shipped to a small pool of testers close to Microsoft, in addition to being dogfooded (tested internally). When it comes down to the public Beta of Office 2010, early adopters can test-drive Office 2010, SharePoint Server 2010, Visio 2010, Project 2010 and Office Web, and the same is valid for leaked Build 14.0.4730.1007, with the exception of Office Web.
Users will be able to have a closer look at Office 2010 Build 14.0.4730.1007 via the screenshots included in this article. Fact is that the evolution from 14.0.4536.1000 is not extremely consistent. Sure, the EULA now references RTM, indicating that Build 14.0.4730.1007 might be part of the Office 2010 RTM branch, but there’s no confirmation that this will actually be the fully fledged RTM.

Windows 8 ‘Confirmed’ for 2012 Launch
More and more evidence is emerging that Windows 8 will be released in 2012. At this years Professional Developer’s Conference (PDC 2009), budding attendees managed to get their hands on two Windows roadmap slides that show ‘Windows 8′ launching in 2012:
Now these slides don’t really provide any information that we didn’t know; Microsoft typically leave 3 years between each release and with Windows 7 launching this year, Windows 8 was always likely to be in 2012. It is unlikely that Microsoft would pull Windows 8’s launch forward to 2011 because it would impact Windows 7 sales with customers delaying upgrades, and unlikely they would delay until 2013 as Windows 8’s development seems to be progressing quite nicely.

Windows 8 to be 128-bit compatible?
“Robert Morgan is working to get IA-128 working backwards with full binary compatibility on the existing IA-64 instructions in the hardware simulation to work for Windows 8 and definitely Windows 9.”
“Robert Morgan is using Hestia (custom software package) for experimenting with the processor for scientific analysis and 3D graphics. Error: Memory Latency? Always gotta be a challenge barrier, it’s gotta be a bug in Hestia. right?!”
“Robert Morgan is frustrated with process standards and regulations! Delays Delays!”
Murdon seems certain that we will see 128-bit compatibility with Windows 9, while it appears that whether we will see it in Windows 8 or not is still uncertain. Coincidentally, many do believe that Windows 7 will be Microsoft’s last 32-bit OS. So could this mean we will see Windows 8 come in 64-bit and 128-bit flavors? Let us know what you think in the comments.
