Default Office 2010 Beta messes up Thunderbird a little..

Yeah, unfortunately the Beta installs everything without asking me.

Just a warning.. if you install Office 2010 Beta it will mess up Mozilla
Thunderbird! Atleast it did for me.

My settings are still fine, my emails are still there, but without waring
it did the following:

I had it pinned on the top of my Start menu, it removed it and replaced
it with Outlook 2010. I had it on the Quickstart menu, which it changed
to Outlook also..

I've already seen enough to make me want to not use the product. They're
redesigned the ribbon a little, but I like the "pizza wheel". They
removed that and made it a plain button now.

When uninstalling it replaced my Thunderbird quickstart with an Outlook
icon and changed the shortcut to open Internet Properties.


That's a normal behavior for Outlook. When Outlook gets installed, it
makes itself the Default program for the services it provides. You have to
either not install it, OR go back and set the program you want as the
Default for the services that Outlook offers. This has happened for a long
time.
