2007 Microsoft Office

[Youngy]

thanks for heads up.. spotted this before the email. Downloading speed is almost at stand still.. Why dont MS use a private BitTorrent network to distribute, would certainly make sense after all the hammering their servers take on release days like today

because that'd make too much sense! :p

wow, I hate dl'in at 40kb/s when it should be goin ~10x that.. I wish microsoft would wise up about how it distributes its files :rolleyes:

[Fog Dogg]

Heh, 99% done with 500kb left and the server dropped my connection and I can't connect anymore. I'll finish up later, but yeah, bittorrent would really help.

Did anyone install this? Screenshots? :p

[Roger H. Veteran]

Well sharepoint designer 2007 didn't get any updates to the UI but that's all i got. The other didn't finish downloading yet.

EDIT: Finally at 8:27PM EST it started going again.

No way, that would promote LEGAL uses for Bittorrent and I doubt the MPAA and RIAA would like that!

[Roger H. Veteran]

F%@# the MPAA and the RIAA! LOL... I don't use BT or anything but i'm sure 90% of the people downloading movies don't get them from there. newsgroups and IRC is where most downloading occurs as far as i know (as well as some other p2p networks still alive out there)

Oh well, downloading stopped again. I wish i got on 20mins before i really did.

Exactly. Don't go showing how it can be used for good, legal reasons. It almost ****es me off thinking about the speeds we could all be getting if we were sharing with a torrent.

what's wrong with legal uses for Bittorrent? *LOL* Screw the MPAA and RIAA ... they can't hurt us Canucks

Well, hopefully this isn't as disappointing as office 12 beta. I tried writing an essay in o12. big mistake...

[Ghostdraconi]

Finally finished downloading. Installing now :D

[kaffra]

it seems a bit more faster/responsive than the first beta. hopefully theres better themes instore, i dont like the luna, and obsidian has too much constrast with the page

Yeah, I made mistakes like that several times. You gotta be thinking SAVE the whole time you are using the beta or else you could get yourself into trouble. I don't know if a lot of you have test machines to run things like that, but I usually just use my main PC. It's all good. :cool:

[Ghostdraconi]

Its a bit faster but there are still some fuzzy icons lurking about. The dark theme is really dark :no:

I never had any problem with the first beta (every single time it crashed, it recovers my documents, but as I see, I guess it didn't make so for everyone...)

Oh this usually happens when you do last minute homework ;) I was doing a spreadsheet in Excel and it kept crashing over and over.

I saw that "It appears that Microsoft Office is Crashing Frequently" box many many times while i was trying to finish my assignment hehe.

How can I get a invite for this office?

You needed to apply for an invitation quite a while back. I don't know if they would be letting any more people in. They might be and I could be wrong, but I think you are out of luck. :(

I wonder if they are going to do this in waves...I signed up for this the very first day the page went live...Even before the page processed anything I applied for it. Oh well...

[I8PP]

How do you switch the theme? The baby blue irritates me.

Edit: Nevermind.... didn't see the theme option in Options. :pinch: I like Obsidian :yes:

[Vomer]

My download stopped at 99% :|

Says 3 seconds and is still there >.<

Anyone else having this problem?

[Varish]

Yeah, mine stoped too, been like that for the past hour :s

[one321]

I posted that I was downloaded this at 4:45. It is now 11:00 and I am still downloading it at 71%. The longest 1137.6MB of my life.
