I got the new Microsoft Office 2010 from my Friend. So i decided to install it on my computer but i got this error before installing you need msxml version 6.10.1129.0.
So after searching on Google i get the solution and here it is
To install Microsoft Office 2010 you need to download and install this file msxml6_x86.exe.
So here i am providing Free download msxml version 6.10.1129.0 location.
Download MSXML6_x86.exe
Once you download the file install it and run Microsoft Office 2010 set up again and you are done.
Office 2010 will successfully install on your computer
Just enjoy the new Features of Microsoft Office 2010 are as follows.
1. Built-In Screen Capture Tool:
A really handy addition & at the same time a beautiful implementation of the same. Word & Powerpoint both have the ‘Screenshot’ feature under ‘Insert’ & the useful part is that it caches screen shots of the currently open windows for one-click insert. At the same time also gives you the marquee select option. Screen shot of the ‘Screenshot’ feature:
2. Background Removal Tool (for images):
This is a feature that I’m sure quite a lot of us will be using. A neat addition to picture properties is ‘Background Removal’. To show you the power of this tool, here is an image that I inserted into a Word 2010 document:
And after using the tool this is what I got:
NOTE: No use of Photoshop AT ALL!
The tool also let’s you have certain amount of background left with edges & effects,screen shot:
Here is the Background Removal tool options tab:
3. Protected Mode:
I found this to be a good addition as a feature. Every time you download a document from the internet & open it, Word 2010 will open it in a ‘Protected mode’ that won’t allow you to edit the document unless you enable editing of the document. Screen shot:
You can edit which file types are to be opened in the protect mode from the Trust Center panel. Screenshot:
4. New Smart Art Templates:
I gotta admit, I love ‘Smart Art’. It’s right up there amongst the best features in Office & in Office 2010 there are new templates added. Existing categories have new templates & there’s a new category as well. Screen shot:
5. Author Permissions:
As I had talked about co-authoring a document & collaborating over the Internet will be one of Office 2010’s USPs, the ‘Protect Document’ option under ‘Review’ in Office 2007 has now been renamed to ‘Restrict Editing’ & a new tab titled ‘Block Authors’ has been added. Screen shot of the option in Word 2007 & Word 2010 side-by-side:
6. Completely Revamped Options Under the Office Button:
Office 2010 has introduced a huge a change in the document options that are presented to you under the Office button. One of biggest pains was the meta-data that can be added in a document. Quick access to permissions, document meta-data under document info. With Office 2010 you now have the option of saving your document to a SharePoint location as well. Screen shot:
7. A Kick-Ass Print Control Panel Under the Office Button:
This is a fantastic addition, clicking ‘Print’ under the Office 2010 button opens a plethora of printing options. No need go through a ‘Print Wizard’ you can select all your print options from here & hit print. Screen shot:
8. Jumplists in Outlook 2010:
As you’ll might have seen, Outlook 2010 now makes use of Windows 7’s Jumplist feature for quick access to certain processes. Screen shot:
10. Powerpoint Gets Word 2007’s Equation Editor & New ‘Action’ Tab
PS: I haven’t touched Excel, Access & others yet!
Update #2:
Sunday, June 13, 2010
The wait is up! we finally got to see a demo of the next OS from Microsoft: Windows 7.One of the biggest improvements in Windows 7 is the new taskbar, but there have also been other improvements like better networking features and a less noisy UAC. Windows 7 superior product that can justifiably claim to be better than Apple's Mac OSoperating system series. Here are some of the major changes Microsoft has implemented in the early versions Windows 7 that will ideally make up for any disappointments in Vista. 1.Updated and Improved UAC - One of the biggest problems Windows Vista had with the much-beleagered operating system was its "improved" UAC, which ended up pestering users every time they wanted to install a program or change settings, as the screen would temporarily go black before displaying a message confirming the user's preference. Windows 7 will have options to simply display such a message without requiring its users' participation, or only display a message when a setting is being changed. These options should help allay concerns of an overprotective operating system, while still providing superior protection against malicious coders.

2.Better integration with peripherals - More drivers will be supported, and Microsoft has upgraded the display that pops up when a device is connected. Whereas Vista and XP showed an autorun, Windows 7 will give more options that are built specifically around the device; a connected camera, for example, may offer a link to its manufacturer's website to check for more software.
3.Faster performance. Microsoft promises that Windows 7 will launch fewer services at start-up, and that those services will run in parallel, making for a faster boot-up sequence and a generally more compact and efficient operating system. Additional performance boosts should make crashes less frequent than in Vista, although it won't be possible to gauge the success of these improvements until Windows 7 is finally released.
4.Revised Taskbar - Windows 7 finally revises the task bar, the little icons in the bottom right hand corner of the XP/Vista screen that show you running programs and their attached annoying notifications. You can finally choose which icons you want to display, disabling unnecessary icons and putting an end to the notifications that tend to pop up at the most aggravating times possible. Instead of a little arrow that expands this section when too many icons are fighting for your attention, a little list of open programs pops up when you mouse over the area, showing you their icons and allowing you to deal with them.
"When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it , you have a moral obligation to share it with others."
Microsoft also announced pricing for the windows anytime upgrade option, which enables users to move from one version of Windows 7 to another. Microsoft said that themove from Windows 7 starter to Windows 7 home premium will cost $79.99. That is one of the key upgrades which Microsoft is hoping to sell by convincing Netbook owners that they really want more of the Windows features.
Among the other prices, the move fromWindows 7 home premium to Windows 7 professional will cost $89.99, while going from Windows 7 home premium to Windows 7 ultimate will cost $139.99. Although that last move is pricey, it still represents a 12 percent drop in the cost of going from Windows Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate. Because the move involves only entering a new product code, Microsoft said, "The anytime upgrade in Windows 7 can be done in as little as 10 minutes."
Beginning October 22, consumers will be able to buy retail Windows 7 packages locally that contain the product keys for implementing any of the upgrade paths outlined above. Furthermore, they will be able to purchase Windows 7 upgrades online from directly within Windows 7 if they reside in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the U.K., and the U.S.

From technology enthusiasts to the average Joe running Windows, everyone was looking at Microsoft for the past 2 years, their hopes gathered around a simple name: Windows 7. There are many reasons why this version of Windows was sought after, not the least being the public relations nightmare brought by Vista.
But did Microsoft come through with a stable computing platform, with decent hardware requirements and a hardened security model? The definite answer is yes. I've been running Windows 7 on my laptop for over a month, installed all the applications I'd normally use – iTunes, Office, Firefox, Mozy – and they all worked fine, without any compatibility settings or whatnot.
While my computer is far from being state of the art, it is able to run Firefox, iTunes, Word and Photoshop at the same time, with decent speed. On just 1GB of DDR2 RAM and a 2,2Ghz AMD Turion 62 single core processor. The visual effects are fluid on a two year old ATi X200M graphics chipset with just 64MB of RAM. What they did under the hood, optimizing the code to run faster, is simply amazing. Running Vista on this laptop was like swimming with cement boots, even with the visual effects turned off.
A very important aspect for Windows users, security, has also been addressed in many ways, and while most of the technologies were present in Vista, they have been improved in Windows 7. The UAC (User Access Control) dialogs are less frequent and not so annoying, executables are scanned for digital signatures of their vendor, you are notified about files downloaded from the internet as well as an improved firewall and notification center. DEP (Data Execution Prevention) is enabled by default, we still have the KPP (Kernel Patch Protection) and a significantly improved Autorun. Also, the privilege level of your account is not root, which would grant you unlimited access to system resources, but a member of the Administrators group. To affect changes that may affect system integrity and security you have to accept an UAC prompt. In addition to this, all start-up items that access critical system areas are also required to be manually approved via an UAC prompt. Checks and flags are implemented all around, to the point that you would have to ignore multiple security warnings in order to get infected. These are all significant changes from Windows XP. All around, you can see that the engineers have dedicated a significant amount of time to securing the operating system.
From such an important aspect as security,we go on to examine the improvements in the user interface department. The taskbar, part Mac OS X dock, part Start menu is an elegant and comprehensive UI element. The functionality offered is simply amazing; We have quick access to commonly used applications, an amazing way to find the window you're looking for with Quick Look, a streamlined notification area which is clean yet retains usability and instant search from the Start menu. I'm sorry to disappoint the Linux and Mac OS fans, but Windows 7, as it is today, has the most advanced and usable UI.
With Windows 7 Microsoft has changed the game. I for one was saving money for a MacBook, which from a Windows XP viewpoint is an incredible upgrade. But compared to Windows 7, not so much. We have performance, stability, a not too shabby security model, an incredible selection of hardware and software. If lastly, we consider the price – free until June next year – we have an incredibly attractive offer. The ball is at Apple and the pitch is going down at WWDC. Unless something amazing comes out, it's going to be a homerun for Windows 7.

Windows 7 has definitely been making lot of waves these days. If you are Windows XP user and you want to change the look of your laptop/desktop Windows 7 transformation pack for XP, but if you are looking to just get a Windows 7 theme for Windows XP, you are in luck. 
A Deviant Art user has released a Windows 7 theme, that can be used for Windows XP. The theme looks really beautiful and definitely gives Windows XP a much needed facelift.

If you just opened a number of separate, related windows (a folder inside a folder, and so on), there’s an easier way to close them all than one-at-a-time. Hold down the Shift key as you click the X caption button in the upper-right corner of the last window opened. Doing so closes that window and all windows that came before it.
