Microsoft will be launching Office 2010 [1] for individuals and businesses in Indian markets in June 2010. The release date for the Office 2010 [2] suite in India is similar to the worldwide launch of Office 2010 [2], which is somewhere around the second week of June.
Microsoft Corp’s India Chairman Ravi Venkatesan told reporters [3]:
The Office 2010 will be available for both businesses and consumers in June.
This is in stark contrast to the delay of Windows 7 [4] in India, due to budgetary and other considerations [5]. Most likely Indian users will be able to buy a copy of Office 2010 through retail stores, however, if you are planning to purchase a copy of Office 2010 online through downloads, you may have to pay an additional service tax of 10.3% [6].
Users can currently download a beta version of Office 2010 [7], however, the version is set to expire in October 2010, after which people will have to purchase a license from Microsoft.
If you have purchased a copy of Office 2007 [8], you will get a free upgrade to Office 2010 [9] too. Pricing details for Office 2010 in India has not been revealed yet, however, you can see the Office 2010 pricing for US [10] right now.
