New Office 2010 build leaks

[SoLoR]

atm there is no way to activate this (or extend grace period, since Windows\System32\OSPPRUN.exe went bye bye), no idea if "tecnical preview" keys are working. But they might, afaik they only gave few different keys for testers and they are using KMS server to activate, but couldnt find them on internet to test it ;(

Anybody know where you can put in your key?

 

[Tews]

Paulie ... You know better than to discuss this here.....

 

[Zidane24]

I think Paulie was asking where you actually insert a key in Office after setup is done...instead of a key for Office to activate it

I got that impression also - File-Help-Change Product Key - assuming one has the correct key to install.

Hi all -- not wishing to hi-jack the thread but does anybody know if Office 2010 will soon be available if you are an MSDN Technet suscriber.

If you mean the BETA Microsoft has stated that a public BETA will be available soon...as far as the full product, Office 2010 won't be available until Q2 2010

 

[Tews]

Not sure Jimbo, its still in Beta/preview stage I believe.... just have to keep checking back with MSDN/Technet page..

I was just wondering where to put my connect key but never mind they don't work so I guess I have to wait until they update connect with this new build and keys! lol I wasn't asking for keys I know better then that to ask that here! haha

First things I noticed:
Excel Charts are fixed now, you can move them.
Printing them though is messed up.
Outlook has severe stability issues (using exchange)
- it's not closing correctly, still running in the background
- try to add an appointment -> freezes outlook
Powerpoint has all the nice transitions from the preview video (look it up on youtube)

I have a benchmark file (xlsx) with over 500.000 random variables
it took over 6 seconds on a dual core 3,6ghz with Office 2007
Now it takes only 0,4 seconds with the x64 build
Nice, but the VBA performance is a bit slower for a similar benchmark.
Office 2007 took 8 seconds now it takes almost 10.

Please write if you have noticed anything worth mentioning

Zindane and I knew that.....its a 24 thing.

I'm having problems with Outlook... Wen I start it, just stops running...

And I didn't found any expiration date on this new build... It only shows: 'Connect to your corporate network or contact your system administrator for further assistance".

 

[pauliewog]

Outlook works fine here and also I moved the date ahead a year or so and it asked me to put in a key. So as of right now no connect key works!

thanks for the information..

Can anyone send email with Outlook? Mine, using ExchangeServer will freeze immediately when I click "New Email".
How stable is Outlook in the 4006 build?

Well at least I can say that the uninstall process is working flawlessly this time.

Can anyone get Outlook Connector to work with Outlook 2010?

 

[gzt7d8]

I'll wait for October, per the Microsoft Office 2010 Forum.

Hmmmmm, Connector works for me, but then I did an upgrade and not a clean install.

How did you load the Technical Preview, upgrade or clean install?

[Firestrider]

I did a clean install but I did have Outlook 2007 with Outlook Connector 12.1 on this machine before. The Outlook Connector 64-bit setup says I require Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 64-bit and it ends prematurely. I guess I could uninstall Office 2010 + Outlook connector, do a CCleaner registry clean and reinstall.

I get this message when looking through a mailbox at the top:



And when trying to download it then install the .exe pacakge I get this message:
