We are happy to announce that Exchange 2010 is Code Complete! Our senior leadership team has signed off on the final code, and it has been sent to our early adopters for one final look before its public release. This Release to Manufacturing (RTM) milestone means we are on our way to general availability and the launch at Tech·Ed Europe 2009 (http://www.microsoft.com/europe/teched/) in early November.

I’ve included some more screenshots of the new Web App in Exchange 2010.
Exchange 2007 came with four built-in themes and a flexibility to customize as well. Seattle Sky, Xbox 360, Zune and Carbon Black. Well, the settings are the same in Exchange 2010, but users can no longer change the theme. The option to change the theme within OWA is missing and Microsoft has confirmed that the feature is not available in this release.
In OWA 2007, you could change the theme to the one of your choice (if it is allowed by the admin in the first place), by navigating to Options –> General Settings –> Appearance Section.

In Visio 2007, we introduced the Themes feature to make it easy to apply a professionally designed look to a diagram. In Visio 2010, the Themes feature gets a whole new user interface that takes advantage of the Office Fluent UI. The theme choices are displayed in a gallery on the Design tab in the ribbon.

The next Office suite will feature a new set of program icons. They are still easily recognisable so users, shouldn’t have any problems working out what’s what.
The most obvious change is the large Letter on each icon, which is the first letter from each program, e.g Outlook will become O.
Check out the full set of icons.

I’m sure many of you have been looking forward to the next version of Exchange, well you wont be disappointed. The Exchange team have greatly improved the latest version, mainly the Web Access. This has a a complete redesign, which adds delivers a much fresher interface, and a host of new features. Below are some screen shots of the Web Access (Outlook Web App).
Microsoft’s upcoming Office 2010 suite packs some excellent new improvements; each of the various applications has had significant improvements, and now we’ve been shown a teaser of the presentations capable in the new PowerPoint, from Microsoft itself. Specifically, the video shows off the DirectX integration within the application, which helps with creating much more impressive presentations.

The release-to-manufacturing (RTM) buzz around Microsoft Exchange 2010 is starting to grow louder. I’m hearing from various partners and customers it could be finalized any time now, maybe even before this month is up.
Exchange Server is directly and indirectly at the crux of a number of new and recently announced products from Microsoft. The company’s Mac Business Unit announced on August 13 that the 2010 version of Mac Office will include Outlook, rather than Entourage, as its new e-mail client. The next Mac Office release also will feature improved Exchange and Exchange Online connectivity, the Softies said. (Microsoft Mac Office customers who need better Exchange connectivity now can use the just-finalized Entourage Web Services, Microsoft officials said.)
