Got the invite. I am running 64 bit Vista and wanted to install 64 bit Office 2010. But it wants me to remove Expression Web (part of office 2007). Ended up installing 32 bit. Will install 64 bit tomorrow on my Windows7 machine.

I received the e-mail for the technical preview.

I go to the MS connect site and start filling out the registration form for the preview and get all the way to end and get an error that says the page can't be found or I don't have permission to view it. It then gives a random combination of letters and numbers. :crazy: I don't get it.... I get an invitation for the Technical Preview and then I can't even access it.?????

Now I have to wait three days for MS to respond about this issue. Could it be that this error is because too many people are accessing the site?

I had the same issue when I clicked on "Accept Invitation" in the e-mail. Went back and copy and pasted the URL that was beneath the invite link and then it worked.

you may be able to still apply for the technical preview here: https://connect.microsoft.com/office/Survey...;ProgramID=3304

i had already applied that a month back but no luck. doesn't understand the criteria they follow to select individuals.

4006 so newer than the leak

Are you sure about that?

The previous leak for the Tech Preview was 4006 from what I recall (might be wrong but this is what I remember). Has a nasty issue with printing from excel also (scaling of print size). The new leak is build 4302, and this issue has been fixed.

someone take a screenshot of MS Word pls and also the about dialog page so we can see the exact build number.

also tell us how many bytes the .iso file is for the 32 and 64bit versions and the MD5 hashes for each please.

It's not like I'm gonna lie. :p

bioran23, please could you give the filesize in bytes of the .isos for the 32bit and 64bit and the MD5 hashes, i'd be very greatful. Also a screenshot of MS Word main window so we can see if the "File F" bug has been fixed.

It's not an ISO. It's an exe.

I got it. :laugh:

Are we allowed to install this on 2 separate machines? (those who get it from Connect legitimately)

If you can request more keys I can't see the problem.

got my invite. Not been on any of the previous private beta's, however did get into WLM9 early.

Do they still give away copies of the final version to those who submit bugs?

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
