he doesnt need to post torrent he can just post it on some popular tracker, im sure most of us are not idiots and can find it
if you are not in office beta program you dont see it obviously hence whole point of "upload it somewhere".
ahh... well they had 2 betas afaik, technical preview and that "other" one that everyone could apply. I think they canceled one after public beta.
If that is the case why did you ask can someone upload it somewhere or make a torrent? there are more places tha MDL to download such things but some people do not search.
Because i assume he posted that from his email, and no build 4734.1000 is not avilable anywhere yet as this minute im posting and if he did post this, i just encorage people do do "the right thing ". Build 4730.1007 is NOT build 4734.1000, like so many different sites tend to write it in their stupid news "Build 4734.1000 RC released to testers... blablabla... is avilable on torrents" and they have wrong All beta stuff that is "leaked" to the public, im aware off... And even more, for example WL4 is in beta2 phase with build 15.2.2585.122, however since messanger, photogallery and videoeditor needs special premissions to sign in, its not leaked yet, since it makes it useless for most of people. Also there should be beta of Office 2010 Comminicator avilablable soon as well. Bottom line is, we need all betas we can get our hands on! edit: but obviously this forum isnt suppose to be "living on the edge of development", so i guess ill just stop it. Here is allowed talk about how to get around activation methods, but mentioning betas and hinting about downloading them, and already mods give you funny look BUT there is STICKY how to download FINAL RETAIL version of Win7 in Win7 topic... but betas all whole other ball game!
I do agree with you as reguards to the rubbish that can be available on other sites especially torrents that why if possible file hashes are prefered for searching as for betas any can sign up to MS connect for beta testing but that can be limited as sometimes they close it quite quick.
On Connect are only Microsoft® Office Home and Business 2010 (Click-to-Run ),released 20.November 2009?
Managed to get it... so if you are resourceful you can get it on your favorite magnet site in couple of minutes
SoLoR, Who are you replying to ? if i was interested i would have signed up to connect the same as i did for vista and widows 7 for beta testing. In saying that it was also for testing ViistaUA and Se7en_UA which i am involved with. Glad you managed to get it down.
Everyone can "apply" question is if you get accepted or not ;< i didnt, and i think lots of others didnt get accepted as well... Anyway heads up this connect version does not come with default key and you need to enter it before installation so... sigh :<
Well i did got to main issue is, all you would need to do in theory to bypass that screen is change setup.xml and ProPlusrWW.xml, with IDs for ProPlus Volume license and it would accept "default" VL license key from build 4730, however since even those 2 files are digitaly signed all modifications leads to "broken" setup. You cab switch insalation files from that build tho, however first attemp only lead me to installation but build was 4730 for some reason... edit2: its not possible to switch those install files, because main office files (winword.exe etc etc) are inside ProPrWW.cab and ProPrWW2.cab. So to skip key you would need those mentioned xml files, that are digitaly signed. But just renaming those 2 files in to ProPsWW.cab and ProPsWW2.cab wont help, because they are hashed and hash i stored inside setup.xml and again you cant just change it, because of a signature... bleeeh :<
