I got it, but the damn thing first went into my spam box for some reason, and when I finally foudn it by chance, and clicked on it, it required me to enter additional details, and it WOULD NOT let me pick the US as my country, not did it show ANY country for that matter.

****ed me off.

I decided to grab the latest beta instead, seeing as it has more fixes :D.

Got my invite last week - accepted and downloaded straight away, and I'm very impressed! I've already requested another key and installed it on my Dads laptop and he quite likes it too.

I'm loving the new Outlook - finally it fits in perfectly with the other Office programs. They load a lot faster on my system than Office 2007.

What's the best way to go about requesting a key?

Constant crashes with x64 when trying to create RULES in outlook. Sigh.

Not having that problem.

I actually configured my first IMAP account for Outlook (GMail); I'd let that account languish (I use it for collecting bulk e-mails). However, despite over three *thousand* messages in the Inbox, Outlook swallowed them all without a hiccup (over a year's worth of mail). I also reset my Hotmail account (for Connector tests); that too went off without a hitch.

The result is that I have three different mailboxes in Outlook (each supporting a different protocol).

Outlook kicks.

I'm in the Click-To-Run Office 2010 Tech Preview. So no real ISO to download, all the apps seem to be "virtualised".

Still, it's much quicker than Office 2007, huge improvement.

Still, as fast as it is, x64 Office 2010 leaves C2R (which I've kicked around) thoroughly waxed.

It's not even Word and Outlook, but *especially* Word and Outlook.

However, aren't Word and Outlook supposed to be the two parts of Office that were supposed to benefit the LEAST from a move to x64?

So where is the guide to UNINSTALL the mondo build?

The mondo build's performance is very very unstable, specifically Outlook. The official TP release is rock solid stable.

I had Mondo on my machine, and it was a right PITA to remove it. I can be removed, but it is a manual process. I can't recall the website which gave instructions on how to remove it, sorry, but it is out there...

I was tempted to leave the Mondo build on there (Win7 RC) and wait for win7 RTM to do a fresh install and then install the official 2010 TP, but I couldn't take the crashing in Outlook.

Both versions Mondo and this one still not working with Windows Mobile Device Center in Windows 7. WMDC does not recognise Outlook 2010 as default mail client, so you cannot sync Pocket PC with outlook.

my iPhone has no problems whatsoever. At least one thing it can do wel hehe

Does anyone else have problems with RSS Feeds in 2010?

In 2007 they appeared to download content fine and displayed fine, but in 2010, it would seem you have to manually right click each RSS, choose download content which only shows a single HTML page that oftenly doesnt display the content properly :(

office 2010 Mondo, or at least, the Outlook part of it, is horrible under Windows 7 RTM x64. It doesn't load properly, gives me errors for everything, and wont connect to gmail or hotmail. And this is supposed to be the newer build :\

Ill have to find and download the offical TP I think and somehow work out a way to uninstall the mondo version. (under remove programs it tells me installation is corrupted)

Installed now and very impressed with it :woot:

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
