Update: Office 2010 RC (Release Candidate) is now available for download.
It did take Microsoft a while but they have finally released Office 2010 Beta for public download – after several leaks of course. Unlike the Office 2010 beta Technical Preview however, the public download build is newer than the leaked builds.
Office 2010 Feature: Publish Outlook Calendars to Office.com

I’ve been playing around with the recent build of Microsoft Office 2010 (4417) looking for significant changes from the previous Technical Preview build. While some features were quite obvious from the screenshots, there was one new Online Experience feature which I couldn’t figure out what it does. While the installer still redirects to OfficeBeta.microsoft.com when we click the button, I did manage to find some references to new Office.com domain recently acquired by Microsoft.
Office.com would be home to the upcoming Office Web Apps as well as other new Office 2010 online collaboration features – one of which is a Shared Calendar. I was able to sign up for an Office.com account from within outlook and publish my Calendar online for my friends and colleagues to see, though I wasn’t able to actually view the calendar most probably because I didn’t really have access to those features.

I just opened Word 2010 Technical Preview to write a report when the thought about a possible new leak crossed my mind. And a quick visit to one of the prime locations for such underground activities revealed that my gut feeling was actually true – Microsoft Office 2010 Build 4417 has been leaked into the wild.
