Office 2010 is due in a few months, but the beta release is available now. It has interface changes, bug fixes, one secret new feature – and although it's still a long way from being finished, it shows much more clearly than the technical preview what you'll be waiting for.

Like Windows 7, the Office line-up has gone on a diet; instead of six different versions, there are just three (for home users).

Installing now on W7 RC.

Installed it yesterday on Windows 7 Professional;
the threaded view in Outlook is working; but it needs Exchange 2010 for any of the more fancier features, we're still using Exchange 2007 (just finished migration)

the other apps haven't changed much, but Outlook 2010 is finally a good step forward
between 2003 -> 2007 it hardly changed
this is more like the change when you went from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003
contemplating to use it at home (Outlook 2010)
