Since some are using it as if it is final, I will stress it actually does have an array of bugs consistent with any beta. Actually, it is better than most betas I have used on that front but can still crash for no apparent reason and does have occasional memory managment issues. Personally, I would recommend running it in a virtual OS, or at least have an additional machine/partition available if something goes wrong. Another machine/OS is the only real option since it is not recommended that people install both the beta and Office 2007 on the same machine. On my end, I run the 64 bit version of Office 2010 on my primary partition and Office 2007 in a second copy of the 32 bit version of Windows 7 used for legacy apps that is running on a small (second) partition. Actually, I am also testing the 32 bit version of Office 2010 through a virtual OS running through VMware. <br><br>My other major comment is that people should not install the 64 bit version if they need to be able to sync devices to Outlook, or use 32 bit add ins for Office 2007. Windows Mobile Device Center and various 32 bit third party add ins do not work with the 64 bit version of Office. It is also not a bug and will not be fixed in Office - it is a compatibility issue with 32 bit add ins. Those add ins (including WMDC) will need to be updated to work with the 64 bit release. It is the same deal that Photoshop CS4 users encountered last year when Adobe's 64 bit version hit the streets. Just a reality of the transition to 64 bit apps....<br><br>Stephen Office 2010 is quite impressive and should be a worthwhile upgrade by release.

It's good you note commonality of ribbon across all other apps. Can you customize it there? You can beautifully in Word. Haven't looked beyond Word and PowerPoint!
