(Groove)

*** = Some file format changes from Office 2007 that should not be noticeable to the typical end user. OMPM being updated. Testing still recommended!

Key Areas of Focus – 2007 to 2010Top of mind topics introduced with 2010

• Impact of Open XML standardization process− Backwards compatibility with Office 2007 SP2

• 3rd party applications & add-ins• Macros• Access databases• OneNote & SharePoint Workspace• 32 vs. 64 bit applications• Office Business Applications

− VBA− .NET managed code− Duet SAP integration− Note: VSTO runtime now shipping with 2010

• Ribbon customizations• Security• Volume license activation• Reduced end user training impact

64-bit Office 2010Some key considerations for 64-bit Office

• Supports large memory requirement – files over 2GB

• Add-in compatibility concerns• Macro re-work for existing solutions• Side by side installation with 32-bit• Target 64-bit for users with large data requirement,

i.e. Excel power users• Consistent deployment and management

experience• 32-bit Office runs on 64-bit OS

Volume Activation in Office 2010New activation method in Office 2010 – aligning with Windows activations

• What it provides:− Better license management− Protect their IP investment− Visibility of activations− Consistent activation approach for Windows and

Office− NOT monitoring by Microsoft

• What it requires:− Plan for your activation method –

− Key Management Service (KMS)− Multiple Activation Key (MAK)

− Educate users for activation dialogs

Note: Never lose functionality if VL Office is not activated

Summary

• Important to start planning early• Proper planning can avoid issues later• Leverage SA benefits to help to things

started• Office 2010 will be offering resources to

help mitigate prior customer issues• Keep engaged with Office OnRamp –
