About bloomin' time. Will probably wait for the final release.

Been trying to download this all night, never downloads properly, I get the impression that the servers are being hammered, but they haven't even set up mirrors!

:confused:

I finally managed to get the download earlier today. Before that I got around 70MB before it stopped.

All downloaded and installed, nice to see a bit of harmony with Windows. I've even uninstalled 2011.

Feels quite finished to me. Not come across any issues so far and using all the products bundled.

I agree - it seems very polished for a MS product

One thing that is still missing is the pinch to zoom in MS word. It works in MS Excel so not sure if there is a problem with word or they haven't added it (and I'm not sure why they would omit it)

Just trailing it at the moment, it seems quite sluggish on my machine.. hopefully this will improve as it gets closer to gold.

Seems a bit slow when opening files but seeing as its a beta, its a good beta as betas go.

Got it, must have been a stage rollout. Cheers!

EDIT: It appears it's only for Outlook this time.

Excel too.

LiE · 18 Mar 2015 at 08:52

Yep updated both yesterday too.

Aston998 · 19 Mar 2015 at 17:17

Looks good

Might have to give it a go!

Another update has appeared.

Had a bug where it wouldnt let me save any of my excel documents, rather annoying as I'd done a couple of hours work on it at the time. Hopefuly these updates will have fixed it.
