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
