one321 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Damn I might need to download FlashGet again. Just curious, what kind of connect do you have? I don't even know for sure. I just have cable internet through Midcontinent. It's always fast, but usually not that fast. Microsoft is to thank for that. When downloading the previous Office 2007 betas from the beta program, the servers were dirt slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one321 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Maybe I've been living in a closet, under a rock, on Mars for the past few months....... I had no idea they were planning on releasing it so early! All I heard people talking about was Vista -- to me, Office 2007 seemed like something in the distant future! :unsure: Many of us have been beta testing Office for quite a while now. I believe (but could be wrong), Microsoft took the head project manager off of Office to work on Vista since Office was on or ahead of schedule and Vista was falling into the toilet. They have done a great job with it. I have really enjoyed using the new Office. I have had no complaints other than a few crashes but that's expected with betas.

Someone said the beta expires in February '07, do you expect that time to overlap the final release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that it will be released along with the retail versions of Vista. It might overlap a little but I doubt very much if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSemple3 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Will it be OK to download...........keep the install files on your hard disk and install later say if you have to wipe your PC clean or something?
