If you’re interested in the latest version of Microsoft’s flagship product, Office 2010, then you’re only going to have to wait about 60 more days to get your hands on a copy.  Microsoft announced this week that the office suite will be available to volume license holders on 12-May-10, with general availability slated for sometime in June of 2010.

Buy Office 2007, get 2010 for free!

Customers who purchase Office 2007 between 05-Mar-10 through 30-Sep-10 will be able to upgrade to a corresponding version of Office 2010 for free. Buyers of Office Home and Student 2007 will receive a free copy of Office Home and Student 2010, while buyers of Office Standard 2007 and Office Basic 2007 will be eligible for a free copy of Office Home and Business 2010, a new addition to the Office lineup. Purchases of Office Small Business 2007, Office Professional 2007 or Office Ultimate 2007 will be eligible for a free copy of Office Professional 2010.

There is a limit of 25 free upgrades per person, a standard Microsoft practice meant to push businesses with multiple copies to its volume licensing deals.

Microsoft has set up a site that spells out the upgrade program in detail.
