On Tuesday morning, Microsoft revealed the retail pricing for the various versions of the Office 2010 productivity suite that will launch by mid-year. Retail versions of Office 2010 will be made available in two basic versions-a traditional boxed product with accompanying optical-disc installation media and a Product Key Card version that provides a product key so that the user can install an electronically downloaded version of the software.

"Office 2010 will be offered in four versions, to make it easier to choose a version of Office that's best for you-Office Home and Business, Office Professional, Office Home and Student, and Office Professional Academic," Microsoft Office General Manager Rachel Bondi wrote in a blog post announcing the pricing.
