What is going on with the download servers?!

My download got to 99%. 0.5MB to go and "trying to connect" :cry:

Me to. I have one machine sitting at .5 megs, and another chugging away at 25-150kps (rates all over the place, backup download).

To change the theme, click on the MIGHTY MS OFFICE LOGO :D, click word (or w/e) options, then on that screen is an option to change to "Obsidian (Black)".

EDIT: This is such a cool release. It actually works for a start, and I'm loving the new UI, but the black theme is too black

Finished downloading!

Hoped that Ms was going to change the office icons.

For what it's worth. Office 2007 Refresh is a very quick performer. The visible changes also rock, the dark "obsidian" scheme is very professional. 9.8/10 from me!

If I sign up for the beta two office would I get a copy of the final like they did with 2003 office? Will the key work with the final?

I don't think you can sign up for office 2007 beta anymore, and only a select few beta testers for office 2003 recieved the full final product. However the beta 2 package we recieved was massive and very good.

We got a portable FM-radio with ms logo on it as a gift when the beta was over :rofl:

And is Frontpage (ahem, Sharepoint Designer) in this release? As far as I know it wasn't in Beta 1

Sharepoint was in the first beta release and it is in this refresh too. It might not be included in the smaller BT download. There is a 1+ GB download I was getting before the site crashed called MS Office Select (I think). It had all the regular apps but also included Sharepoint, Project, Visio, and a couple others.

New UI looks very nice and it's very functional. I like the black theme a bit more.

Everything works much better than the first beta... except from Access, in a table when I change to Design View it stops responding and freezes, I have tried with Access 2007 and Access 2000 databases and still the same issue, anyone else gets this problem? :unsure:

    • This is needed! Good to see them working on it. My solution up until now at work is to hide all MY folders, showing only the shortcuts, but linking my personal folders to the corresponding Libraries. Having this exposed in the Navigation pane of File Explorer means that I have easy nested access to my stuff, as well as all the shortcuts under the OneDrive folder when needed, often open as I only have about 10 or so linked sources.
