Office 2010 support

Hi all!

During the monthly meeting yesterday, there was a high demand for full
Office 2010 support under ReactOS. Let's call that Word, Excel and
PowerPoint for now. If we get these applications to work, the potential
customer may generously sponsor the ReactOS Project.

While Hermès is already working on getting Word 2010 support as part of
the ReactOS Community Edition, he has shown that this task easily splits
into many subtasks, like full NTLM implementation, Printing, etc.
If anybody volunteers to work on these, or otherwise contribute to get
the full Office 2010 to work under ReactOS, we would be willing to
support this with our foundation funds too!

As a first step, let's make a list of related tasks and add them to
https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-12279
Hermès can probably help here. If you have other ideas on how to help
with Office 2010, don't hesitate to tell. This needs teamwork!

Let's not miss this opportunity to make ReactOS usable for the mass!

Hi,
I'd definitely like to work on Office 2010 ReactOS support

You chaps are offering what sort of support? Perhaps be more explicit?

They are probably better off contacting HBelusca on the IRC. Just head here: https://www.reactos.org/irc

Hi!
It is so interesting to work for ReactOS and run MS Office under this OS.

Sorry, it's rather off topic.
Would it be better to support "KingSoft Office" instead? http://www.ksosoft.com/ ?
It's fully compatible with MS and it's free. I use its older version - perfect!

We'll eventually support that if we don't already, but we do need to support MS Office. It was one of the winners of the Community Edition voting. Besides, it's a widely used software package, and not supporting it would turn away many potential users.

Plus, targeting one program like this tends to help with a number of programs that use similar installation strategies.

After MS Office works, the next target should be Virtual PC(hardware-unassisted mode).
