Cant wait.

Like Beta 2, the Technical Refresh will be available for public download at a cost of $1.50, a nominal fee Microsoft has added in order to recoup some of the distribution fees associated with the beta. Current Beta 2 customers, however, will receive the update free of charge.

For those users, the Technical Refresh will be distributed via the Web as a patch that is installed over Beta 2.

you are kidding right ? windows 95 is over dood time to upgrade :p

i'm looking forward to the refresh ... my biggest request is that they bring the word art from excel into word ... and make access more stable, it crashes left right and center !

from what i have seen, the 'refreshed' UI looks good ... i like the smaller 'orb' and im looking forward to the collapsable ribbons, they are ridiculously large in beta 2 and it drives me crazy.

On the first page of this thread, oqwarrior said 9am PST. I've read the same time elsewhere. Go to one of the time zone converter sites and it'll work it out for you in local time. :yes:

any idea what's new?

Jensen Harris' blog has a short-list of UI changes including:

  • Improved support for the minimized Ribbon
  • Visual redesign of the "Northwest" corner of the programs
  • Double-click the Office Button to close the window
  • Silver color scheme

A full changelog will also be made available when the TR's released.

Time of release is always given in Redmond time. If you have loaded Vista ever notice what time is on the clock when it asks you to set the time?

Mine always comes up with the right British time :|

Ugh.. so many things to download this month.... my quota... can't take it much more...

(Vista RC1, Company of Heroes Demo, now this... :'( )

I only get a 40 GB quota :/ Easily gone over, let's hope my ISP doesn't complain!

I assume this TR is being released 8:00 am GMT (British/London time)?

      Haven't used Google for almost 10 years now and have no issues. Lately all my searches are done via Copilot. Even better contextualised answers.
    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature

      By +samw61 · Posted

      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.
