I am also a tester of Office 2010 and so far I am not particularly happy with Outlook's stability. It crashes all the time, makes ost files corrupt and generally it cannot be used productively. Of course a beta should be used only for testing, but at this stage even that is extremely difficult with Outlook 2010. The other programs work ok though, since they didn't receive many changes, especially comparing with Outlook.

I look forward to Office 2010 when it becomes more stable, maybe with the next beta release, due this year.

I got my invite yesterday too. Question: do I need to uninstall the earlier build that I had installed from ummm, well, from somewhere else? I had been using that build since it first came out a few months ago. Or can I just install this build over the top of the earlier build?

I posted this on Connect too, but I'll also post it here, just in case:

"Well, in any of my Office apps, when I go to the Office menu in, say,

Word, go to Options and look to the right, at the top it says I have

a license for this product. Right. But then underneath it says that I

am using a trial version, which will become unlicensed in 29 days.

Next to that is a 'Licensing Operations' tab, and if I click that and

go to 'Activate Product', it looks as though it will, then it tells

me my product key is not valid. I used my key from my Connect user in

installation, which was valid and everything.

So what does all this mean? Its confused me."

EDIT: Nevermind, didn't read the full thing on the Connect site. It's stupid not to offer the TP in x64 version, I wonder who's smart idea that was!

How come? Here is screenshot from my account and 64bit Office Installation Package.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
