Bmw Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Yep, As of yesterday, Microsoft has publicly released their Office 2007 (Previously codenamed Office 12) software package. It is available for download at the Microsoft Office 2007 Website. Pretty fast download speeds by the way...nicely up to 1MB/s for me while downloading :D :D As a reminder, be sure to check all options while installing the program. It's just a BETA, not meant for mainstream usage, although it should be nearly ready for it. There is an installation option to keep previously existing files, rather than install over them. It's a pretty nice version in my opinion, I've been using it occasionally during Beta 1, which was decently buggy. The problems I had in Beta 1 seem to be nonexistant so far, but we'll see. I'm a huge fan of the interface...love it, but that's just me. --> In addition, Windows Vista was released to Business and IT Pros/Vendors yesterday as well, and will be released to the public supposedly on May 27th. Head over to the Windows Vista Homepage to check things out. I'd rather have this post kept here rather than in the Tech forums as you don't need to be a "techie" to catch a preview of upcoming Microsoft mainstream programs. Post your opinions of the program(s) here :wink: Please refrain from comments like "Omg Microsoft Suxz0rz they can be h4xed so eazy". Thanks.

Mr_Putter Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 This is good news. The faster they pump out betas, the faster the real Vista will come out (Analysts have predicted Q2 2007 for Vista, but Microsoft stays firm that it will be out in January) If they pull off even a relatively clean launch in January, I'm cool with that.

Bmw Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 :? While you guys are semi on the topic of specs, have you seen the hardware requirements for Vista? :shock: The minimum requirements aren't bad, 512mb ram, 800MHz processor, but if you're system is that horrible, why even bother right? You wouldn't be able to run Aero or anything like that... In order to maxmize Vista's capabilities, they're saying they want at least a Gig of Ram, I think it was a 2.4GHz processor, 128MB Video Card w/ Direct X 9 capabilities...etc. High for the "average" computer yes...I built this computer last summer an only barely meet the requirements. Anyone with me on upgrading their system/gettin a new one before Vista? I'll probably grab a new motherboard w/ 64 bit processor, another gig of ram, new video card, and maybe a few sata drives 8-) Ouch, my pocket hurts already. Add on the hefty price tag of Windows Vista, and I'll guaranteed be broke! Geez, how do they expect a 17 year old kid to afford this?!?! :x :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogityboo04 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I'm using Beta Two to post this right now, and belive me it is not a happy system.... With my 1 gig of ram, 3.0 ghz P4, and 256 megs of video, it just barely is chugging along. I really like XP now. :P (Aero glass is pretty cool though) They should have left the old start menu in my opinion, it is pretty much just like browsing through folders now, not a menu. Also IE 7 is probably still worse than IE 6 in terms of performance and also usability (sp?). I like Firefox better than it anyway. Whoa, there went the network connection, now the "network center" is completly frozen... Disclaimer: This is my OPINION, not fact, don't flame me for it. : 8-) rotalsnarT laciffOSolving the confusion once and for all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
