Office Starter 2010 drops the crapware, adds ads

Ed Bott takes a look at Office Starter 2010
You've already seen most of Office 2010. It was released to manufacturing two months ago and has been widely available to Microsoft partners and anyone with an MSDN or TechNet subscription. (Check out “Office 2010: a deeper dive” for more details on what’s in the full version.)
But the one Office 2010 version you probably haven’t seen is the elusive Starter edition. Microsoft hasn’t made review copies available to the press, but they did make the software available last week to partners who want to preinstall Office on new PCs for sale with Windows 7. I’ve had a chance to test a couple of new PCs with Office preinstalled. Here’s what you’ll see if you buy a new PC with this Office edition included.
