I thought Office 2010 was supposed to be cloud based

Post by **Anakha56** » 19 Nov 2009, 02:14

It does have the ability to work with a cloud, installer just asked me now if I want to move docs online or not. However it seems it is still a stand alone package with cloud abilities?

I would only use a cloud when I was entirely sure that they would work well and be secure. I guess I have trust issues.

Tell me - what are the main differences? All my clients who have switched to 07 are now asking if they must go to 2010. Not sure how to answer them.

Thanks for link!

Is the full install only 684meg? Seems small?
Does it download anything else after you install?
Just checking before I destroy my cap.

*downloading*

For those who care: the 64bit download is 750MB.

Went to the Joint Biz launch on Tuesday for Server 2008 R2, Exchange 2010 and Windows 7. Also included a discussion about Office 2010, MS have actually done a really good job with these 3 products, and once set up together, it forms an amazingly efficient office setup. Add a Windows phone into the equation and the whole setup is full of win.

Once somebody has downloaded a full copy of the beta, please could somebody be so kind as to post me a copy. PM any takers and I'll forward my postal address.

Slow? I thought it was insanely quick! x64 came down in a little over ten minutes.

Stu, could I borrow your line for a bit?

First impressions were good. Except for the damn Send-A-Frown and Send-A-Smiley in the taskbar that didn't go away after closing Word.

I was as shocked as you. True story.

Anyway, I'll install it at home.

For those of you dowloading the 64bit version.. any reason?
I see on the MS site it recommends you download the 32bit version even if you are runnig a 64bit system.

Keep us updated..

Erm ... didn't even think about it. Just downloaded.

Maybe I should get the 32-bit too.

82%....

Looks like I'm going to give this a try, and the license seems to only expire late 2010.

That's great news!

The download is also surprisingly small, I'll probably grab this towards the end of the month.

Kennyisalive · Post by **Kennyisalive** » 19 Nov 2009, 16:56

I will have to get use to the look and veel of 2010. But not to bad as yet.

Had a problem with pop of my Gmail in outlook but IMAP fix that problem.
Here is a link if some one els gets the Problem

Hmm all my most precious documents containing intellectual property in an M$ cloud ...... I THINK NOT. I would sooner hand it over to our competitors.

Screeper · Post by **Screeper** » 19 Nov 2009, 18:31

I don't think you have to use 'the cloud', i'm sure you're allowed to save to hard drive as well

hmmm, am getting a disk from my supplier to test... is it as scary as every one say it is?

Tribble · Post by **Tribble** » 03 Dec 2009, 11:25

Noo I don't see how it can be. 2007 is awesome and this is just an improvement on that.

I need to get my paws on a copy.
