Max for me is around 350k. Not bad.

Guess I'll be testing it in a virtual machine, as I think I'd have to uninstall Office 2007 (For the 64-bit version of Office 2010.)

Has the slightly altered version of Myriad always been a Microsoft Office logo typeface?

Downloading now. Speed bouncing around between 150 and 250k but rising. Can't wait to give this a run.

It's not Myriad, it's Segoe, Microsoft's corporate typeface since around 2006. Both Segoe and Myriad owe a lot more to Frutiger (www.linotype.com/.../frutiger.html) than either Microsoft or Adobe would care to admit.

Ok its up.  Took about 30 min to upgrade my 2007 install.  Its got a less shiny look to it, but Outlook looks a little more "busy".  The thread view is on by default which took a second to get used to.

Need to identify a type face?

There's an app for that:

new.myfonts.com/.../iPhone

speeding along at just under 500 KB/s. not bad.

@phh

Thank you. And you are absolutely right, Myriad and Segoe seem to have taken many cues from Frutiger.

Office is dying. It get less and less relevant by the day.

Downloading from MSDN (30 mins and counting), but hesitant to upgrade since my Outlook 2007 depends on Google Apps Sync. Wouldn't use this for daily work, anyway.

Still curious. Any experience or refs re compatibility with older add-ons & extensibility APIs in the upcoming Outlook 2010?

Oh well, have to test it out myself.  I should have a suitable VM somewhere on my disk for testing how / if the Google Exchange-clone-thingy fails with 2010. Surely it can't work... ;)

Definitely not true in the corporate world.

Not true in the Student, coroporate, home business user. Given a choice between Open Office or Microsoft Office, I'd choose MS Office

It is just better, but OOG is pretty good, and is helped by its price $0, but I can not in all honesty say Open Office is better than MS Office.

And as for the cloud, who cares, I'm a local user.

I had to reboot for my install, odd.

To blow off Open Office is a mistake.  I know lots of small businesses still on Office 2003, with Zero plans to upgrade.  They use maybe 10% of Office 2003.  I think the current version of OO 3.1 is every bit as good as Office 2003.  If the next version is better then I could see these small companies moving off of Office for cost savings alone.

Just using Outlook 2010 today for a very short while, there is even more that my users WONT use.  There is all of this collaboration stuff at the bottom that just muddles up the screen and if you are not using Sharepoint and all of that its overkill.  Now you might be able to remove that but if you can.....uggg.

There are just so many alternatives today to actually purchasing a new version of MS Office, to soon include Office Web, Google Docs, Zoho, and OO.  Heck Word Pad in Windows 7 is a good enough word processor for 90% of the people I know.

I like the new logo and I'm really looking forward to downloading Office 2010 beta. Word 2010 is THE product in the suit I can't wait to get my hands on.

I'm guessing your review of Office 2010 will be posted sometime on Wednesday? :-D Can't wait to read it!

I hear good things about the 64 bit version of Office 2010.

Open Office has been a dog, maybe its good enough for some people but I hate it after using it for a few years. Of course compared to Google Docs even  Open Office looks good.

I use mostly the Home/Student version of Office, it frequently can be had for well under $100. I bought 2007 for $70 and it can be used on 3 PCs at a time. For $23 and change per computer I'll take Office any day over some mediocre prgram. Its well worth it to me.

I'm not blowing it off, it is just MS Office is better than all the other products and if OOG is now to the level of Office 2003, which I still think it is between XP and 2003, but lets just say 2003, then it is still 6 years behind, so.

I have Ubuntu on 17 Gigs on my 500 Gig HDD and it is the main word processor on there, so I deal with it, but I use ubuntu about less than 1% of the time primarily because I just like to see what Ubuntu is like, and while it is good, Win 7 is better, though not in price and pure performance

0$ vs the $30 I spent

500 GB of ram vs 890 GB of ram

Upgraded my Outlook 2007 -> 2010, Google Apps Sync still works. Nice! :) Looks like they haven't broken the MAPI structures.

"500 GB of ram vs 890 GB of ram"

What?  Are you running Firefox 2.0 on that?

Sorry I misreported, I wish I had that much ram

500 MB and 890 MB haha, well there was a slight mess up there.

I think Ubuntu just uses more since I have 4 GB of ram to offer.
