| Re: Microsoft Office 2010 Beta The verdict so far - it takes a freakin' age to install. Currently at 28 minutes and counting. I know it'll be full of debug code, but... seriously guys! Originally Posted by aidanjt

| Re: Microsoft Office 2010 Beta I got an invite too  Downloaded and installed last night, (well this morning, lol) Install took about the same time as 2007, nothing unusual. So far I like. Its like a glassy version of 2007 on speed. It opens sooo much faster. Still not 100% sure on the new "File" menu, think I prefer the old version, but it may grow on me, havent had a chance to use it that much yet.  |

| Re: Microsoft Office 2010 Beta ...39 minutes later the install completes... EDIT - a quick look at Word pleases me - the interface is very clean and easy on the eye. I guess now I have no excuse NOT to get my Exchange 2010 box up and running and test with Outlook 2010, see how the 2 work together. Originally Posted by aidanjt

| Re: Microsoft Office 2010 Beta Ok, got out of bed, rubbed my eyes, loved the bug report mechanism (you get 2 system tray icons - a smiley and a frowning face. To send positive feedback you "send a smile", to send negative feedback you "send a frown") Much nicer than having to login to Connect to do it, and I'd imagine it'll get a whole lot more data returned.

| Re: Microsoft Office 2010 Beta Finally got round to playing with this. Mainly with Access, so far I'm loving it. Moved over to x64 Office. Some fantastic videos on Connect explaining the new features/changes in Access, definitely worth looking at. Didn't take that long for me to install, Splash - did you figure out why it took so long to install? If you happen to dislike the new backstage view, you can disable it by following this little guide. I personally think it's quite snazzy  [CPU: Q9450 @ 3.6Ghz|RAM: Corsair PC2-8500 (2x2GB)] [MOBO: Asus P5Q Deluxe (1406)|HDD#1: Samsung F1 750GB] [HDD#2: OCZ SSD V1 32GB|GFX: BFG 9800GTX+ OC|PSU: Corsair HX 620W] |
