I just think it comes down to most computer users can't really be bothered installing the OS from the ground up to beta test. We are the minority.
More people downloaded Office 2010 beta than Windows 7 RC.
It’s now official, Office 2010 is bigger than Windows 7, at least as far as the sheer number of downloads of the pre-release testing Builds is concerned. On the day of Office 2010’s commercial launch, Microsoft confirmed officially that the latest iteration of the productivity suite was downloaded in excess of nine million times. As of today, June 15th, 2010, customers around the world can purchase Office 2010 via retail outlets or online shops.
Microsoft was little shy about applauding the early success of Office 2010. Launched in Beta stage in November 2009, Office 2010 has generated an immense amount of interest from early adopters. The Redmond company is, in this regard, entitled to hope that the over nine million downloads of Office 2010 Beta will translate into strong sales. By comparison, according to the software giant’s statistics, Windows 7 was downloaded over eight million times ahead of RTM.

Is Office 2010 any better than office 2007,and therefore is it worth paying for the upgrade?
The lay out is similar to office 2007. Microsoft will never go back to the drop down menus. So if you want to keep drop down menus use an office released before 2007.What are the differences between the 2? In office 2007 I don'tlike the way youhave the options at the top of the screen, I much prefer the drop down menus. Are they menu's the same as 2007 or have they gone back to the old one's?

When you consider that this is for multiple operating systems (including apple) then I think there is a much larger base for this to target.
Would love someone to explain to me why everyone hates the ribbon. I love it, everything is so much easier for me to find.
And yeah, 2010 is much better than 2007, especially if you have 64-bit Windows.
