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.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.

      Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52

      By wingliston · Posted

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
