Office 2010 Beta Public Download Site URL is Live

[echrada]

I have downloaded successfully at work but want to install at home. Download Manager won't let me "save" the file, it wants to RUN it...is it possible to Save it, burn it and then install at home?

Where did you download from?

 

[Fliplip]

Ive downloaded and installed the 32bit version, i also have a key for it but ive not been asked to enter it or activate anything.
I did upgrade over Office 2003.

Any ideas if i should have done something else during install? It seems to be working ok.

Cheers.

Dave.

Open Word and press File --> Help --> change product key
And put your product key there and activate.

Thanks very much.

Dave.

I've downloaded twice to two different computer... Both time I was given a Save option .. standard "Save" window... at the momement I'm downloading to a USB External Drive.

The download itself is saved wherever you downloaded it to.

After it's finished you are given the "Launch" option.. just choose something else (I don't remember what they give you.. Finish, etc.) After that I went to the folder where I had the download and burned it to a CD.. Just fit at 698MB.

That's curious, the one I got from TechNet was/is 749MB. :shock:

should be correct from what i see...

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Thanks y'all, I hadn't considered that, mine is 64-bit.

 

[Tews]

Mine is 684mb as well....

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Mine is 684mb as well....

Is it 32-bit?

 

[24c]

I have 64 bit = 767 MB, 32 bit = 700 MB - from TechNet.
Public Beta d/ls identical in size.

ETA - Under Properties/Details both files agree with the 749 and 684 numbers posted here.

Can't compare apples to walnuts.

 

[masterB]

It should be, I have both downloaded from MS public site.

 

[CosmicSurfer]

Yup... Mine was x86 - 32 bit.

My burn could have been 684MB.. I was quoting from memory....
I was just happy it fit on a CD, as my work computer only has a CD drive, no DVD.
But then I decided to Download a seperate copy, so I wouldn't waste the Key at work.

So sorry

[Roddy]

Hi all...sorry for tardy reply. Finally noticed it had actually d/l from MS to my desktop so I burned a copy and brought it home. I installed it, KEEPING my copy of Offfice 2007.

Now, 2 issues, the first I 'think' I understand. IF I use an Office 2010 application, say Word, then close it and launch Word 2007, I have to wait for Word to be configured. Takes a while. Then when I launch Word 2010, the same. I kinda sorta understand that....

But Outlook 2010 has taken an hour so far to "Upgrade your Mailbox - performance may suffer while this once only process takes place" and the Upgrade Outlook Connector needs to be Upgraded as well. So...how can my Mailbox be BEING upgraded IF my Outlook Connector NEEDS Upgrading?

Many thnaks

There's only 4 keys for everyone so you dont need to worry about wasting the key...

the big one for me is under the share (tab i think) which is on the file menu: share to skydrive (too bad it doesn't work in onenote though which is what i use the most...)

 

[Gornot]

Just installed it today. Yeah, aside from a few GUI changes, nothing new that's of any interest to me, but I agree, sharing files is the big deal with Office 2010. I'm a home user, so nothing special, but I still prefer this one and 2007 over the crappy 2003. May just give it a try instead of reinstalling 2007 and all those updates for it

 

[elbeasto]

Does anyone know if the Office 2010 RC/final will be available for download and a trial period?

Thanks
