When all that most people do with word is type a couple of letters, I really wonder where the demand is for all these "enhancements".

why am I? although it advises you upgrade it offers you the option of installing side by side

Uninstall any previous versions of Microsoft Office. We highly recommend that previous versions of Microsoft Office be removed from your test machine before installing Office Professional Plus 2010 Beta.

I'm sure you'll be OK though, as you said you frequent Technet forums.

I've got it on download at work for my test machine, my hopes aren't all that high though.

i thought that 2010 was supposed to have been released to coincide with Windows 7

I have installed it with 2007 as well but 2007 is located in Program Files\Microsoft Office and 2010 is in Program Files\Microsoft Office 2010 so hopefully nothing shall be damaged

Frankly, Office 2007 is a pile of poo already. If I ever saw a piece of bloatware, this is it. The major change that I can see is hiding functionality that was pretty obvious from text based descriptions in new, snazzy uninformative icons coupled with endless lists of useless style sheets. And don't even get me started on Microsoft Graph in Office 2007 for OS X. The muppet that authorised its release wants shooting.

Been using the beta for a while, very happy with it

I'm a Mac and Microsoft Graph for Office 2007 was my idea
