Windows 7: Office 2010 Home and Business beta 14.0.4006.1110

Can I use any of the Office 2010 applications before the install is complete?



Yes, you can use them while they are being streamed to your computer. You might notice some slight delays when using the product if they are not fully installed on your machine.

Does the Office 2010 products get installed on my machine every time I use an application or when I reboot my machine?

No. The Office 2010 products are streamed to your computer and installed once. After they are streamed to your computer the product stays installed on your machine.

Do I need to be connected to the Internet when I use any of the Office 2010 applications?

You only need an internet connection to download the complete product. Once it has been fully downloaded you no longer need an Internet connection.

What happens if I lose my internet connection before the complete Office 2010 product is fully downloaded?

You can still use the Office 2010 applications. But since not all of the entire product features have been streamed to your computer, your applications may have limited capabilities, depending on what has been downloaded so far. When you connection is restored, the product will continue streaming from the point that it left off.

I get an error when trying to open Microsoft Excel documents from my desktop or the File Browser/Manager.

This is a known issue. Microsoft Excel will actually launch but an error dialog saying "There was a problem sending the command to the program" will appear. To work around this, leave Microsoft Excel open and select the document again to be opened. The document will now open inside Microsoft Excel.

Does Office 2010 Click-to-Run support 64 bit Operating Systems?

The thought of installing something that is ONLY web based is completely abhorrent to me. First of all, I don't like the idea of keeping stuff like I keep on a webserver. I make sure my business emails are kept away from the web, they contain federal tax id numbers, company financials, social security numbers and other detrimental things.

If Office 2010 is strictly a web app, it's all over for me upgrading.

Will Office 2010 use the .docx format?

Thanks, =)
