For some of you that pay attention to computer you might remember the recent Office 2010 Build 4417 leaks and a while ago the Microsoft Security Essentials which is aka Morro. I would give you links and downloads but since that is illegal in every way you can think of in this forum I wouldn't. But since providing screenshots provide no harm I will freely do so. Heres some info about the two products.

Office 2010: Office 2010 is like an updated version of Office 2007. But only in this version of Office you don't have the Orb at the top. Also I forgot to mention that Clippy is now gone to a better place (R.I.P Clippy 2003-2007). The latest version of this is Build 4417. The only way you can get this product for beta testing is by Microsoft Connect. But since the applications are all closed I don't think I can help you any farther than this >.> Like the product says "Office 2010" it will be released to the public sometime in 2010.

Morro or aka Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE): As it is called "Morro" is an anti virus. The only way you can get this product is by Microsoft Connect. The current main page for Morro is Morro Homepage. The anti virus is very lightweight and very simple. There are only 4 tabs with different security options for each. Morro updates itself to the server everyday at approximately 9am-12pm everyday. Sorry Mac users, Morro checks the OS to see if it is published by Microsoft and to see if it is activated. There have been some reports of the installation still working even if you are unactivated.

Like I said above you can wait until 2010 for Office 2010. It should be early January or mid-January. There was never an original date for Morro yet.

Looks the same as 07

[Matthew W.]

No instead of a orb theres like a tab like thingy. Also did I forget to mention that it has a backstage?

[ClEMeNt]

I liked the orb. D: Eh can't please everyone I suppose, I'll probably get it for free somehow. LEGITIMATELY.

Oh puhlease. If you knew everything about the copyright and everything, you can't get a full version for free unless they do an event.

[Cowfun]

Yeah, the orb is nice. I'm probably going to stick with 07 for a few more years...

Somewhat related, Windows is running a semi-viral $29.99 promotion for Windows 7 upgrades to college students. But it verifies by e-mail, and @bths.edu ones work.

VERY nice. Do you know when the offer expires?

Also, do you know if one can make an ISO backup out of the download, or is it one of those live install things?

Lastly, and perhaps a very long shot question, anybody know how it will fare under Parallels on a MBP?

Office 2010 looks interesting, but I'd rather stick to 2007 because I only really use for basic stuff on Word and power point. And it's 2009, and most teachers still only use Microsoft Office 2003 anyway...

Thank goodness for converting processes.

I just got 2007 like a year ago. Microsoft has to slow down. All the Tech computers recently got updated with 2007.

PLEASE propose an upgrade to Windows 7 for all the newer computers for when it comes out in October.

Why? The current computers run everything fine already.

Windows 7=

• Faster Searching
  
• Aero =P
  
• Easier processing
  
• Less memory used
  
• GODLY Superbar
  
• Integrated Teamviewer technology (sort of)

If anyone can think of more stuff then I guess it makes Windows 7 even more better. How did we get from Office 2010 to Windows 7? Should I make a thread about how good Windows 7 is too? =P
