Yes - typical Microsoft
As normal it's getting battered.
Why they never thought of using a distributed system like bitorrent to speed things like this I'll never know.
I was trying till 1 am after the cafuffle of flashing my BIOS (don't ask - long story... suffice to say I'm changing my Mobo as I'm not happy) and tried this morning and Visio started to download.
Here's the link for those interested in signing up for the testing as well

It is . Haven't had time to install Vista yet...lots of stuff to backup first....
As for Office...it's looks verrry different (at least in the first 20 seconds that I've been playing around with it).
Can't actually activate it at the moment, which is a bit worrying....49 uses left , but as for your question TimeZero, I can save to .doc files
Lee they have got something MUCH better than bit torrent:

throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)

Yeah I've been following avalanche and also the "portrait" software for a while now
Saying that I've got nearly 20 Gb of free DJ mixes I need to catalogue, move and rate before I start messing with an beta OS.
