Is that the same as "Create a new Windows Live ID," which goes to
"Create Your Account," and is that something different and less
malicious than Office Live?

Well, it's moot, because after I filled in the form (with a password
containing only capital and small letters), it responded:

We are sorry, but we are unable to complete your request.
The following problem(s) exist:
•An error was encountered when we attempted to create your Windows
Live account.
Please ensure that you are not using any invalid characters in your
password (double-byte characters, spaces). Also, the following domains
to create a new Windows Live ID (these are reserved domains that
cannot be created through this process).
hotmail.com
msn.com
live.com
passport.com

Whenever I log in on a "sign in" Live ID page, there's a panel to the left
that says, "To get started, sign up for a Windows LiveT ID" and a button

Can't tell, since there was no evident way to sign up!

Does it really require signing up for Office Live or just for a Live ID

latest version of Passport)?

The first one would be, How do I get it? I went to Yves's link, saw
that I wouldn't expect to use any of the 10 "improvements" anyway
(though the one that recovers unsaved documents might be handy), but
if it can handle newly added Unicode ranges, then I need it, clicked
the Download button, and it took me to a page asking me to "Sign in."
Signing in didn't work, so it suggested that maybe I need to sign _up_
first. But (a) that apparently means signing up for "Office Live,"
which I see from threads here can be quite problematic, and (b) there
wasn't any hint of how to sign up.

Jay,
The beta is public now
(http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/en/default.aspx) so I doubt there
are
any restrictions on where to talk about it.

If you need any additional help with this problem, please don't post
in the public forum. Problems with the beta are under your
nondisclosure agreement. Instead, post in the setup and installation
forum on Connect -- you should have gotten instructions on how to
find
the beta forums when you got your invitation.

Do you have any addins installed? If so, try starting Word with the

I have been recently invited to participate in Office 2010 beta and
I
am
having probs with word 2010 beta...Always at open, it encounters an
error
and
has to close. All the other office programs work just fine!
(outlook,
access,
excel etc all ok)
On the top bar it does show word fails validation, all the other
programs
validate just fine....I have tried the repair option, completely
removed
all
office products, run tools like CCleaner, complete reinstall and
revalidate
and fully updated MS updates and of course needed reboots. I am
running
XP
Pro SP3
But I still have the same issue-any ideas?
