although there are other reasons to look at updating PCs as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2009\/11\/thick-thin-virtualised-whatever-its-how-you-manage-the-desktop-that-counts.htm\">the age of the device is a factor in overall TCO<\/a>, at least according to Gartner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/office2010\/archive\/2009\/08\/24\/volume-activation.aspx\">All volume licensing editions of Office 2010 require activation<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0&#8211; that means that enterprises need to be looking at deploying a key management service (KMS)\u00c2\u00a0in order to avoid abuse of multiple activation keys (MAKs).<\/p>\n<p>Office 2010 has a new 64-bit product edition &#8211; although, unless the\u00c2\u00a0ability to access large amounts of memory is important, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/office2010\/archive\/2010\/02\/23\/understanding-64-bit-office.aspx\">Microsoft recommends running 32-bit (even on 64-bit versions of Windows) due to incompatibilities with plugins<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 And, talking of incompatibilities, Office 2010 is designed for tighter integration with App-V\u00c2\u00a0such that, if App-V v4.6 is used to deploy Office applications, many of the previous application virtualisation issues are fixed (e.g. the hooks to open files in SharePoint, send to the OneNote print driver, send to mail, etc.) by uses proxies to activate them when Office applications are running virtualised.<\/p>\n<p>Office 2010 has a number of security features &#8211; recognising that, as the operating system is better protected, malware attacks have moved up the stack to the application layers, concentrating on weaknesses in file formats and document parsing.\u00c2\u00a0 For example, if the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/office2010\/archive\/2009\/12\/16\/office-2010-file-validation.aspx\">Office file validation<\/a> checks fail, a warning is displayed and the user has to go into Office back stage and explicitly select to ignore warnings and edit anyway.\u00c2\u00a0 More commonly, documents that have originated elsewhere may open in <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/office2010\/archive\/2009\/08\/13\/protected-view-in-office-2010.aspx\">Protected View<\/a> and give the user the option to enable editing.\u00c2\u00a0 In addition, applications such as PowerPoint remove any content that they do not understand (i.e. which is potentially harmful) from the document structure.<\/p>\n<p>When preparing a document for sharing, in addition to the option to inspect a document for hidden properties, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/office2010\/archive\/2010\/01\/07\/office-2010-accessibility-investments-document-accessibility.aspx\">there is a new accessibility checker<\/a> that can ensure a document complies with various accessibility standards &#8211; including the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/WAI-AUTOOLS\/\">Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG)<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/WCAG20\/\">Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) v2.0<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 This accessibility checker educates the user on how and why to fix a document &#8211; and is enforceable via group policy.<\/p>\n<p>Document compatibility is another concern and, whilst third party tools are available from partners such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.convertertechnology.com\/\">Converter Technology<\/a>, there are Microsoft tools that can help too:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) toolkit v5.0 includes\u00c2\u00a0 an Office 2010 Readiness Assessment which looks at hardware compatibility and provides recommendations and assessments in order to plan an Office 2010 migration, for example identifying add-ins and interfaces, tagging applications that are known to be incompatible, and mitigating VBA\/macro code.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/cc179179(office.14).aspx\">Office Migration Planning Manager (OMPM)<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0is a collection of tools to prepare an environment for migration to Microsoft Office 2010. OMPM can be used to scan for file format issues, identify potential macro issues, and to migrate legacy office files to the <a href=\"http:\/\/office.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/HA102058151033.aspx\">Office OpenXML format<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?FamilyID=ea33f615-188d-464e-bc64-3ab06aa43961&amp;displaylang=en\">Office Environment Assessment Tool (OEAT)<\/a> is another scanner that can be run against multiple systems and provide rolled-up reports on the overall environment.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?FamilyID=23c8a7f6-88b3-48ef-9710-9742340562c0&amp;displaylang=en\">Office Code Compatibility Inspector (OCCI)<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0compares existing (legacy) code against the Microsoft Office 2010 object model to identify possible code issues, looking for issues in macros and inserting comments accordingly.<\/li>\n<li>Other resources that might be useful for organisations looking at Office 2010 deployment include:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?FamilyID=85607061-5eb2-4659-afc5-5d942b84a024&amp;displaylang=en\">Deployment Options for Microsoft Office 2010<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/ee819096(office.14).aspx\">Application compatibility assessment and remediation guide for Office 2010<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?displaylang=en&amp;FamilyID=f2316c00-447c-49b7-810b-68fef63cfb12\">Group Policy settings reference for Microsoft Office 2010<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, just as with Office 2007, Microsoft plans to produce an Office Productivity Hub &#8211; in both standalone HTML and SharePoint 2010 format &#8211; to provide self-help content for\u00c2\u00a0end users (effectively a help portal for office) along with an interactive command reference guide (for help with getting to know the\u00c2\u00a0fluid\/ribbon user interface) and an enterprise learning framework (to helps organisations develop a training and communication plan for employees during deployment of Office).\u00c2\u00a0 All of these are expected to become available\u00c2\u00a0over the next few weeks.<br \/>\n<!-- Static Ad --><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\ntradedoubler_msftstore_office2010preorder_banner();\/\/ --&gt;\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After much speculation (including some from myself), Microsoft has announced that Office 2010 has been released to manufacturing.
