Following the release of Office 2010 in mid-May to business users, Microsoft is now selling the productivity suite to consumers through retail outlets. Available in Office Home and Student 2010, Office Home and Business 2010, and Office Professional 2010 versions, the suite went on sale Tuesday at more than 35,000 retail stores worldwide, along with the 2010 versions of Visio and Project.

The company said “more than a billion” PCs worldwide have some version of Office installed, and, based on a survey of beta users, Microsoft estimated that 75 percent will buy Office 2010 within the next six months.
