Office 2010 Beta 1 is Bunk

[mxosder16]

Well, I think that this is a build they are testing, perhaps that was never intended to be leaked. The whole send a smile thing is weird though. Thoughts on that?

Send a smile was in the other leaked build too. It's their feedback program

Seriously it does not matter what it is labeled as, it is the latest build of office 2010 you can get a hold of. This does not mean it is fake or that it will be better than previous builds, "it is what it is".

It is not Beta 1 is my argument. And that is what people are saying it is, when it is not. That's it and that's all. I was saying it's a fake beta 1 and not the real beta 1. Not a fake office.

I agree with Red on this. I think it is a leak that was not supposed to be leaked.

It is a real Office, just not a release build.

LOL but everyone is saying it's beta 1, when it is not. That is my only argument. This build will not match the public beta build when it is released.

This is not beta 1, so the leak title needs to be changed to "Horrible Office 2010 release with more features than technical preview, but some of the basics don't work like they did on technical preview - 1"

Ah, to hell with it, I just got into the Office 2010 beta. I'm just gonna wipe and reinstall.

I wiped it and installed Office 2007. Turns out, it doesn't suck as much as it did the first time I used it.

Outlook will indeed minimize to the tray, and does have the menubar. I officially no longer hate OutLook 2007. The others.... eh. Not so much. That ribbon bar..... What dumb*** came up with that?

As for the Office Mondo? I will wait until a more stable build comes out.

Thanks for the warning ..

If you can get the regular technical preview it works awesome. I think it is on the normal sites and quick downloads.

I also try to install this bulky version and give up.
Staying with version 14.0.4006.1010 and rearm.

I just got my Microsoft Connect email inviting me to d/l the 2010 TP direct from MS. Downloading now, I'll compare to this one once I finish the d/l.

This version/build works fine for me

Can someone please tell me how to uninstall Office 2010? Is there a way to "wipe" it? It won't let me uninstall, and it messed up my existing Office 2007 installation as well.

Thanks!

exactly. Honestly, I rebuilt my machine with 7600 today because of it! I had 2007 installed, then installed this 2010 beta fake and landed where you are. Here are some tips.

1) if you can system restore to office 2007, do it.
a) if you cannot do a system restore, reboot in safe mode and do it ( this happened to me because of a bug with the intel controller I was using)
2) if that does not work, here is an awesome guide on how to do it with 2007, but most of the same applies with 2010 fake beta

How to manually uninstall the 2007 Office system if you cannot uninstall it by using the "Add or Remove Programs" feature

3) if all else fails, wait or rebuild with the rtm candidate and cross your fingers that it gets voted as the real rtm.

Test the 4 things I listed. I can almost gurantee they will not work. Just hope you never have to uninstall it for the real beta when it is released. To test, try uninstalling it from the control panel. You will see. Don't worry, even if for some reason it does work, you still have a chance to cancel it. But you will see it fail immediately.

Why do oyu need to uninstall it? You are gonna wipe it anyway as soon as yo install W7 RTM, so try it till that date.

New update:

You can apply to MS Connect for the Office 2010 Beta version.
Microsoft Feedback and Bug Reporting - Product and Program Categories | Microsoft Connect
Look for Microsoft Office 2010 in the directory. You will need to sign in, and then fill out a little questionnaire. I applied right now, so we will see if it works.

Definitely looks like this was a fake and I believe that the "Mondo" portion is some kind of spyware etc. building on the old Mondo codename for o2007. Mondo is not a part of the real deal I just d/led from MS. The MS d/l is build 14.0.4006.1110:

Note the proper office log on the Office button there in the real download rather than the corrupted "File'F" construction in the torrent download...
