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.

    From the technical preview did you have visio , project or other apps that doesnt get removed from the Main Office Technical Preview uninstalled as well.

    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.
