Pirated copies labeled as the Technical Preview of Microsoft's Office 2010 have leaked to the Internet, according to searches on popular file-sharing sites.
Office 2010 joined the also-still-unfinished Windows 7 on BitTorrent Saturday. Searches on the Mininova.org as well as the Pirate Bay tracking site revealed leaked copies of both the 32- and 64-bit editions of the application suite. Commenters on the sites confirmed that the posted versions are tagged Technical Preview, claimed that they worked, but noted that they are unstable.
As of 7 a.m. ET Monday, the most popular torrent on Mininova -- a 1.3GB file of the suite's 32-bit version, showed more than 1,100 total "seeders" -- the term for a computer that has a complete copy of the torrent file -- and about 16,000 "leechers," or computers that have downloaded only part of the complete torrent. More than 5,800 copies of the file had been downloaded over the weekend.
