Mine always comes up with the right British time :|

I mean during setup in Vista when the clock shows up for the first time and you are asked to set your time zone. The clock is set to Redmond time until you change it.

I hope it's really close now. Want to update my Office 2007. :/

From Doug Mahugh's blog:

You'll be able to download the Beta 2 TR release as of 9:00AM tomorrow (Thursday), on the Office Preview site.

(I'm assuming that means 9:00am PST)

So 5pm GMT... now I have to find something to occupy myself for five hours :p

[Colin-uk Veteran]

Im loving the silver and black theme :)

[WigglesTheFish]

Anyone know if OneNote is also part of this technical refresh, or is it just the core Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.)?

[nowimnothing]

It appears to be available now from the above link

494.7 MB??? Ouchie.

It's even bigger that the original Office 2007 Beta 2.

It must be a full install

[edgarf28]

yes its full install, see the file name (full)

It was actually available about 5 minutes before noon EST it just took me a few minutes to start the download and post on here. not that i care about being first or anything, i just thought everyone would want to know! :yes:

[Echilon]

Downloading now :D

Shame they can't release a patch for Beta 2. 500Mb is a pretty big download.

this from public.outlook yesterday at midnight EST:

" Don't worry about it as the Beta 2 TR releases in about 12 hours from now.

i would be ecstatic if Outlook 2007 B2TR allowed you to create incoming mail rules based on the sender's categorisation in your contacts list

I'll eat my words if I'm wrong, but I could almost categorically promise you that that will not / cannot happen.

That is unless you were willing to have a public contact book :p

According to the release notes on the download page, this is actually a patch...it requires Beta 2 to be installed.

[.Joa]

Yup it is a patch... tried to run it without office 2007 installed but it needs Beta 2 ;)

well, i know it might be difficult/CPU-intensive to check what category you've classed the sender in (assuming he's already in your contacts), but i'm sure it *could* happen.

Either that, or they need to make distribution lists more dynamic. Frankly I find DLs very tiresome and rubbish to use

a 500MB patch? i don't believe that. 9 minutes left for me

[.Joa]

wait and see then... :p
