It’s been announced - Office 2010 is finally at the Release to Manufacturer stage. It looks like it will be on the store shelves by late May/early June.
That does sadly mean that Microsoft will probably cut life support to the beta within the coming weeks. It’s a shame really as I love Office 2010 – but having said that I’ll probably go out and buy it. Maybe even pre-order it. I don’t know.
Chrome is sailing on merrily, but other browsers are slowly starting to sink.
The normal trend is just about carrying on this month, with a few minor differences. Percentages with thanks to HitsLink.
Internet Explorer and Firefox continue to loose market share this month – IE is now down to 61.58% and Firefox is down to 24.23%.
Chrome continues to grow with it’s market share percentage up to 5.61%. Whereas Safari managed to loose a bit of market share this month (which does happen now and then) – it now stands at 4.45%.
Opera’s users are slowly trickling away, with it’s market share now at 2.35%. However, Opera Mini (the mobile edition) continues to gain market share with it’s market share now up to 0.64%.
That’s your outlook for this month.
New Visual Basic version nearly ready for release!
For those who like building applications in Visual Basic, you’ll be glad to know that Microsoft will release the release candidate of Visual Basic 2010 to the general public tomorrow.
The new version has already been released for MSDN customers and they can download it now.
The new update will include various fixes from the beta, and will hopefully bring a few new features from the last major release.
I’ll be reviewing it shortly after it’s released to the public, so stay tuned to GEEK!.
