    Been playing around, really normal work) the past couple of hours and have yet to fine a difference. Still same couple of issues (excel always crashes when one sheet is linked to multiple files), etc and same stable functions.

    Running on a 4GB laptop with Win7 Ultimate.
    Anyone see any differences.

    I guess the biggest difference is that the beta that has been released is not a TP.  It is an actual beta release with a full feature set and completed interface.  There was quite a bit unfinished in the TP, such as the back stage concept and lack of real icons for an array commands.  This, on the other hand, is complete on both fronts and the back stage has been pretty seriously revised.  Performance wise, the 64 bit version is slightly faster than the TP for some apps and slightly slower for others - no surprise.  As far as stability goes, it is far too early to tell....

    The beta has some (but not all) of the bugs fixed, real icons and a cleaner looking interface (at least in outlook).
