Did not get x64 as I can't use it.

I don't think that this actually helps as it's a RAR file.
Now unless i'm mistaken MS would only distribute stuff in one of 4 formats

1) .MSI
2) .CAB
3).EXE
4).ISO

For a suite like office 2010 it IMO will be officially released as an ISO. I can understand a leaked version being a .RAR file as it will be compressed and require a smaller upload -- also it's easier to "Acquire it" in small pieces like on a USB stick for merging later "after it's been removed from the labs".
However the verion leaked on this site passes all scan tests as others have indicated -- but I would suggest that the hash sums posted won't be the same as what will be on the ISO when "officially" available.

Yep, was thinking the exact same thing. Also, notice the spelling of the file (which is how I downloaded it as.)

Anyway ya. Whomever released this probably just copied the files from DVD to a folder and rared. Works for me and the hash is good for now so at least others that got their hands on and altered after we saw it are weeded out.
