I must say Word is a million times better. I can easily make something look very nice indeed. Thanks MS!

So MS are giving away a £500 programme for free, pretty much!

Awesome

Other than the time limit and 'beta'ness of it, yup. Nothing I can't put up with until Feb time

Well, it will stop working in January, and it's only licensed (ie. it's only legal) for use for evaluation purposes rather than in "production environments". You would probably technically be breaking the terms of the license agreement by writing and printing a letter to someone using the software unless you only did it to test how you might write a letter in the future.

You can get Outlook on its own, and it doesn't need a serial.

Just fill it out truthfully. Or if you won't want to then fill it out fakely.
I just put real answers into the form and got the CD-Key at the end

I just meant do they want your address/other personal info and send you an agreement to sign in blood

I find office xp awful compared to 2003.

Seconded!

Downloaded the exe the other day and installed last night. Looks pretty cool imo. Totally different from 2003 in appearance. Didn't have any probs installing or applying serial number.

Configured Outlook07 with Yahoo mail no probs.

Got WMP beta too - just wating for Vista beta 2 now!

So where can i get outlook on its own?

Is there a seperate link?

-Mike- · 28 May 2006 at 16:31

Why not just download it all and just select to install outlook?
