ROFL!!!  Just yesterday I was thinking damn, I could really use a Office 2007 VHD right about now — and today it is released, so naturally I’ve just  downloaded it.  :)

So below is a quick briandump of my first impressions

  • You can  download Office 2007 Professional VHD (in 4 parts, total 2.5Gb),
  • By default the VM is pre-configured to use approximately 10GB of hard disk space and approximately 768MB of memory.
  • When I first fired it up the VM in Virtual PC, it took about 5 minutes before I could use it (come out of sysprep, reboot, and select my regional settings)
  • When I opened word, it took another couple of minutes to configure the “trial edition software”
  • ?Virtual Machine Additions ver 13.548 is installed.

Overall, a pretty straight forward process - have fun!!
