The bread and butter at Microsoft is software. The company offers a slew of other products from hardware and peripherals to internet search, but most of the fuel for the Microsoft coffers comes from Windows and Office.

Microsoft is set to launch new version of Windows and its Office productivity suite in the coming months. Windows 7 is expected in October with Office 2010 coming in the first half of 2010. ComputerWorld reports that the latest technical preview of Office 2010 hit BitTorrent tracking sites over the weekend.

The new version of the anticipated productivity application is Office 2010 build 14.0.4302.1000 and both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the application were leaked. About 30 computers had fully downloaded copies of the torrent file and about 400 systems have partly downloaded the torrent. So far, about 1,200 copies of the application have been downloaded.
