Leaked build and Staying Safe

I wanted to post quickly to acknowledge the information that you have seen today around bits of Office 2010 being leaked. While all of us here are happy to see the incredible excitement and engagement (and are absolutely chomping at the bit to reach the July milestone) we aren’t quite ready to release the technical preview bits. I would encourage all of you to wait until the official bits are available to ensure the best possible experience and not miss out on anything we may include.

As a heads up, because we want to ensure our customers are safe, we have been monitoring various torrents and already detected quite a few that were infected. As a reminder, the Win 7 leak was used as a vector for attack and it’s not surprising to see this being used the same way. So, please be aware that if you download this torrent there is a very good chance you are also getting some unexpected malware with it.

In the meantime keep checking back as we will certainly have more updates.

    Il nuovo Office 2010. Qualcuno potrà già provarlo a luglio, grazie al lancio della Beta Technical Preview. Altri invece, dovranno aspettare qualche mese in più. Forse fino a dopo l'estate. Mentre, per il pacchetto ufficiale, la maggior parte degli utenti..

    I would just encourage you to keep in mind that what you are playing with isn't the official TP build so things are subject to change. That said, I am happy to hear it installed OK, definitely double check to make sure you didn't get one of the bots we have found with the bits.

    If you have AV that's competent, you would pick up the malware.  That's the whole point of having AV protection. References and tips on Using Office 2010 are few and far between in contrast to using Windows 7 t at this point in time.

    All very good points from reedshaft.  MSFT has ramped up education and spent considerable time and money beginning shortly after the launch of XP toward security; and there are some neat security features coming in Win 7 including Bitlocker to go Encryption. For anyone running Win 7 which probably means anyone here, I've found Avira free to do a great job as an antivirus at this point in time in running in the background with little CPU demand. Thanks Chugworth for the Sigcheck tool and switches. Mark Russinovich and his collegue were great additions at MSFT. http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Going+Deep/Mark-Russinovich-Inside-Windows-7/ http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx To MSFT's credit, there will always be pandemic, intense curiosity about the latest build of Windows or when  the Office teams are building  new sets of tools. Gadgets are morphing so rapidly that they have become a central cultural fixture for work or play, along with the software that runs them, and a growing number of people are curious to see what tools and integration abilities new software like Office will bring.

    Im running both the Windows 7 RC and the Office 2010 Technical Preview on my production machine without any notable issues. The office 2010 TP did an inplace upgrade of Office 2007 successfully. The only disappointment is that the 'Conversation View' feature in Outlook 2010 lacks any intelligence and seems to simply group by Subject. e.g. I had two emails from two difference people regarding different meetings with different parties on different dates. The only commonality was the subject of both emails was 'Meeting'. Outlook grouped these emails and replies as 'A Conversation' which clearly they are not. It should be looking at a combination of the sender/recipiants of the email AND the subject, not just the subject alone.

    If any of you are concerned, you can run Sigcheck to verify that all files such as ".cab", ".exe", ".msi", and ".dll" are correctly signed.  Sigcheck is available here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897441.aspx

    I don't understand why comments that are meant to be constructive either don't show up here when you sign in, or they are moderated over hours or days.

    how about some info on what viruses/malware is embedded in these torrents and how to identify them?  sounds like a bit of fearmongering to keep people from using the bits.

    You could also help people staying secure by releasing SHA1 Checksums of leaked builds ;)
