Office 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh

[InlineFive]

You can download it here.

I just installed it, the UI has been improved a little bit and the performance is much better.

Check it out.

What are the advantages of Office 2007 over 2003? I had 2007 installed for a while but I didn't like the new interface so I got rid of it.

how do we get a cd-key for it?


it says you have to have beta 2 office 2007 install before you can install the technical refresh.

Right, so you will have to download a grand total of ~1GB of files. When you register for the Beta you will receive a product key.

The servers are probably getting hammered; I'm getting pitiful download rates.

they removed it. it's the same with explorer in vista and wmp11. it's pretty annoying.

i have sort of an embarrsing question, i dl'ed the refresh and didn't understand that it's an update. i put the installer for beta 2 in the recycle bin and it disappeared. i have the key but not the file. i tried file recovery tools for can't find it. i just need to find the installer. is there any other way except paying MS $1.50 just to download the file that i have the key to? will i find it on torrent? TIA.

The file menu is not gone. You can hit alt to show it temporarily, or click the organize button, go to layout and select menu bar.

edit: this is for Explorer. The file menu for office is the big pearl at the top left.
