i assume this is a new build since the beta 1 pre-release then? im not sure whether to bother downloading it if its the same?

Do you even bother to read the thread titles or what? Why would everyone suddenly get excited over the original beta 1 release?

Am I the only one who liked the metal/blue feel of the original Office12 beta release?

No

I was starting to like that look very much. Maybe in the final version they'll have it available as a theme, but I doubt it.

beta testers, if you can please:

- Is outlook faster now?

- How's the overall performance?

- Any crashs?

- Can you open saved files on the previous version without any problems?

Thanks,

xUnix

All of the programs seem faster, how much of this is because it's new I'm not sure. As for crashes, I haven't had any, they even fixed the annoying crash outlook had everytime I exited.

No problem opening old saved files.

- Haven't tried Outlook yet, so I cannot say if it is faster, but I cannot imagine that it wouldn't be. But hey, you never know.

- Performance has improved a lot over the Beta 1 build

- Of course, it is still beta after all.

- I have been able to open almost everything that was saved. I have tried opening a PowerPoint presentation and PowerPoint keeps crashing on me.

I wish I could figure how to get e-mail support with Word. Even Outlook Express doesn't work. Only Outlook. What I mean is that if you don't have Outlook installed you would go to send a document as an e-mail and cannot click on the icon, since Outlook is not installed.

I have the TR installed and the biggest change from beta 1 (so far) is the new (and blue) default theme. I had no problems with Outlook crashing in beta 1 (and I'm happy to discover that the TR is retaining the same stability. I haven't tested it with Vista 5308 yet.

I had a horrific time with Outlook crashing in the first beta. Everytime I would exit or click on compose an e-mail.

has outlook finally changed to the full new look? and Access?

In the 2007 Microsoft Office system, formerly code-named Office "12," Microsoft Office Word 2007, Office Excel 2007, Office Access 2007, and Office PowerPoint 2007 will have the new Microsoft Office UI. In addition, the new interface will be used in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 when composing e-mail messages or setting up meetings.

quote from Microsoft regarding user interface. I haven't installed Outlook or Access.

I LOVE the changes they're making in Outlook...esp with the tasks and calender...it's stuff I use daily and its sweet theyre getting it right.

The ribbon doesn't look as bad as I thought it would, I thought it'd be taking up alot more real estate than it is.

Not bad...not bad...

My download stopped last night, and now it's not resuming. I can't get to the site either. Frustrating!

If you are one of the pplz like me whose download stopped at 99% then do this...

Suspend the download and close active x box

Redownload same one from beta site

Click cancel to the new download box asking for the location

Click resume for the old dowload you suspended before and it will finish up! :D

I will try that, but I can't even get onto http://beta.microsoft.com/ right now. It's quite annoying. The page just don't load.

What happened to the dymanic menu's and animations??

This was a very cool feature of the first Beta in that when you were in Excel and highlighted some cells the ribbon would change allowing you to do new things. What happened?

BTW - I liked the slate gray color of of the first beta better, but the UI on this beta is better.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
