domino Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 they say it's mostly updated for computability with RC1. I also updated Office 2007 on the XP system and all is good. Not really much difference with the previous beta other than the new graphics., but I don't use Office suite enough to know if there are major differences in the workflow.

caffinefree Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Point of Interest. After downloading and installing O2007B2TR, on first run of Outlook I was offered an opportunity to download an additional package from MS called "Windows Desktop Search". And lo and behold isn't it a close replica of Apples "Spotlight" It places a search bar within the Windows task bar. Just like "Spotlight" type in a word and it searches your drive for referennce to that word. Also a little of topic, sorry The new iTunes 7 adds there own "software update wizard" to Windows that looks and acts just like the one used on the Macs. It gives the non Mac users a similar feel to how things work if they were using a Mac. Smart move. caffine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asapreta Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 As they say, the main difference is the Ribbon menu. But Excel has lots of cool features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been running beta 2 for some time, but checked the MSDN website, and didn't see anything about a tech refresh version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
