Woke up this morning, coffee in hand and twitter slowly getting buzzed about the arrival of the Beta downloads for Office 2010 suite.
Click click click TechNet click click and then it was all down to waiting for the beauties to be downloaded to the lappie. Sharepoint 2010 beta was also out but that’s for another blog post.


Before installing the beta, uninstall the Technical Preview version or any previous versions of Office


Starting the installation of the Beta software


And we have a speedbump

Oops forgot to take Visio 2010 Technical Preview out and another uninstall and reboot later

Bit of tweaking

And we are away

And we are done


Licensing
Start any of the application, in my instance I started with Outlook (dhaaa!)

Click to change product key

Activation

And we are done

Stay tuned for my first deep dive into Outlook 2010 Beta.

Btw this post is my first one from Word 2010 Beta. Upgrade had even the blog settings all ready for me.

THat was the issue that I had
I have read quite a few a article on how to install and uninstall Office 2010, but nobody tells me why should I install Office 2010. Does it bring new features that will help increase my efficiency and experience? If the answer is no, then I would rather stay with Office 2007.
