Downloaded Office 2010 yesterday and it all installed fine, needed to upgrade my Hotmail connector as well.
I thought this was still in beta? Anyway I'd be interested to know of any useful new features that could be used as a business justification for upgrade, i.e. can an RoI case be made purely on productivity gain? I suspect, as with other Office 'upgrades' that it is more likely going to end up being a cynical excuse from MS to withdraw support from a previous version and thus force a chargeable upgrade path to something that was already functioning perfectly well.
If, by some fluke, it introduces sensible bullet numbering in Word that is not influenced by the alignment of the planets then that might be enough on its own for me to upgrade. That's assuming of course that what remains of my screen real estate isn't taken up by even more meaningless icons and seemingly randomly distributed menu items that were far simpler to navigate in earlier versions.
Cheers, H
