dumb question...if I download the office 2007 beta will it then expire at sometime and force an upgrade or will I be able to revert to my old office XP? Would sure like to see it :-)
Thanks Bill

You'll have to reinstall your Office XP - but your license should still stick on the system so that's OK :o)

I installed Beta 1 into a virtual machine, so it couldn't break any existing Office installations. I plan on doing the same thing with Beta 2 (once I manage to get the download <g>).

VS2005 R2 is what I'm using here, though if VMWare Server has decent 64-bit guest support by the time it comes out of beta, I may be forced into switching.

Not quite what I said, since I wasn't quite answering your question (at least not directly).
I don't see any reason that the Office installation would block installation to an external HD - they're just hard drives as far as Windows is concerned, and I'm not sure that the Office installer would be able to tell it's removable.
On the other hand, I don't see any major benefit - the installation wouldn't be portable (moving the HD to another machine would not "move" Office, and it wouldn't protect any existing Office installation from being "mangled" (various common/shared bits would likely still be written to %Program Files% as usual).
To my mind, there's only one safe way to deploy beta software, and that's on a separate machine - whether that be an actual test machine, or more likely these days, a virtual one.

Well, that stinks. I nominated one guy for the friends and family beta, and he never got in, so was waiting for the public beta. And now it's even later.

Wasnt interested in it being portable. Just wanted to see what it looked like. Your suggestion to deploy on a test machine is taken.
Will therefore pass on it since I have only one machine for both work and play and reformatting if any problem would not be nice.
Thanks Bill

I was told Beta 2 was going to be 54xx as well :-o Grrrrr.....

This is where virtualisation software comes to your rescue. VMWare Server, Virtual Server 2005 R2 or Virtual PC 2004 all provide the capability to run virtual machines that are isolated from the physical machine. VMWS and VS are free from VMWare and Microsoft respectively.

Seriously - if you're gonna run it in a virtual machine, *please* go for Virtual Server 2005 R2. I've had nothing but good experiences with it :o)

Is there an uninstaller for Office 2003 which will enable me to cleanly install Office 2007 Beta when I get it in the mail?
And will Office 2007 Beta install on an XP partition on an Apple Intel machine?
How about Vista?
Has there been any luck on dual-booting Vista with OS X yet?

So when should this be released to those without fancy subscriptions? I sure hope Gates likes me enough let me try Vista. I've really been looking forward to its release.
I downloaded MS Office Professional Plus 2007 (440MB) yesterday and it took 4 hours. Today I got OneNote 2007(220MB) in 2 hours. Both seem like good products. I especially like MS Word's great support for multiple languages and its bibliography, cover page, and other simplified features. It seems like a busy design, but gives you all the controls you need. I hope it doesn't take me 16+ hours to download Vista. -- Firth

Connect is 5384.4

Windows Vista Beta 2 is Build 5384. What you may have been told was a rumour and like many rumours is false.

Next 3 weeks, persons who signed up to download it, will get a notification. I am sure a Trial version of the RTM will be also available when the time comes. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "firth" wrote in message

It's the same thing :oP All of the Connect/TechNet/MSDN are *exactly* the same build - the same ISO - the same timestamp etc. and they are all 5384.4 :o)
