History and Development

Development began in 2006 while Microsoft was finishing up Office 12 and releasing it as Microsoft Office 2007. The version number 13 was omitted because of the aversion to the number 13 . It was speculated that Microsoft would release the successor to Office 2007 in 2009, but Steve Ballmer had officially announced that Office 2010 would be released in 2010. With the Microsoft Office 2010 Technology Guarantee, Office 2007 buyers receive a free upgrade license to Microsoft Office 2010 if they purchased Office 2007 between March 5 and September 30, 2010.

In addition, online versions of Microsoft Office, the so-called Office Web Apps, are made available free of charge. They can be called up via the browsers Internet Explorer , Mozilla Firefox , Google Chrome and Apple Safari , now also Opera (from version 10.60). The Microsoft Office Web Apps were released on June 7, 2010 and contain reduced versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. A Microsoft account is required to use it.

Office Starter 2010 was initially only preinstalled on new PCs and delivered free of charge.
