I have been using it for about a week now. It works, but i haven't found much of a reason to upgrade from 2007 yet (although to be fair, im mostly using word, excel, and outlook).

"We couldn't get Microsoft's Download Manager to work in Internet Explorer 8, but so far it's working just fine in Firefox."
hahaha...epic FAIL

I had no problems getting it to work with IE8--and it downloaded at about 1.1 MB/s for me. I downloaded it the day it came out though.

The DL didn't take long at all for me today in IE. I think it was around 20 minutes max. Never the less, I like it- a few improvements over 2007. MS has beefed up the security on it though, i.e. activation.

For consumers who just can't until June 2010 to get a peek at Office 2010

Nobe.

No thank you convicted monopolist Microsoft, I'll stick with Open Office.

I had no problem with the download, 250 - 400kbps... maybe now the download traffic is harder... still totally worth it... 2010 is beautiful! and so fast... 7 and 2010 will make a more relaxing office lol.

I didn't need to uninstall Office 2007 to install the beta. I think all it uninstalled was Outlook if I remember correctly.

It works better than OpenOffice, opens fast as all get out, and supports .odt out of the box. I see no problem here.
