Man, the only one I got into was the Click 2 Run Office 2010 beta. It installs over the web and includes Excel, OneNote, Outlook, Powerpoint and Word in a virtual environment . The only thing I don't like about it is I can't pin the icons to the taskbar.

Office 2010

I got the identical email today also. (Identical to Jedixo) I am downloading at this moment. I am excited to see if Visio and Publisher has been made any easier to maneuver around in. I don't have much hope for Word. I understand that the infamous ribbon, while somewhat modified, is still prominent.

Shoud n't this thread be in the infamous Water cooler or general. It has little to do with Windoes 7?
