Vista 5308 / Office 2007 Beta2 work OK together ?

Office 2007 Beta 2 works on Vista 5308, when you set compatibility mode
on all Office 2007 executables to Windows XP SP2.

I've used Vista 5308 for a while and I just now downloaded/installed
Office 2007 beta 2.
From available Office 2007 downloads, I chose and installed:
Office Pro
Outlook Business Contact Mgr
One Note
Project

I did not "register for support" after any of the apps installed. I
rebooted before trying any apps ( figuring I'd then register) and when I
try to run any of them I get an error and a popup asking if I'd like to
send an error report to MSFT. I don't know / it doesn't tell me what
the error is , BUT in Control Panel - Solutions - it does say that it is
a known error and will be fixed in the next release. Am I on Candid
Camera ? My download is 2 hours old and it's a KNOWN bug and will be
fixed Next time - No office app even STARTS ( yes i'm yelling at my PC) !!!

Perhaps Office 2007 Beta and Vista Beta don't work together ?
Although I thought that THAT was the whole idea ? I sent them this text
as feedback. Any suggestions to get this going ? I'm off to look for
answers ( someplace other than MSFT website which doesn't offer me any
solution).
Bobb

I can't start any office app - how would I set it for compatability mode
?

Go to the directory that contains the executables
Right click and go to the tab where you can set compatibility settings

Anyway, Beta 2 can be downloaded now

However well it works, it is unsupported on that platform. Any reports of
errors or anything else will be discarded without hesitation.

Hi Bobb,

FWIW, the new "Windows Vista Ultimate" Beta2 Preview build is now available for download or ordering a CD from http://microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx

Note, however, this admonition on the website.

This is beta code and should not be used in a production environment or on a main machine in the home. Beta 2 is intended for developers, IT professionals and technology experts to continue or begin their testing of Windows Vista. Before you decide to use Beta 2, you should feel comfortable with installing operating systems, updating drivers, and general PC troubleshooting. Some risks of using beta operating systems include hardware and software incompatibility and system instability. If you have concerns about installing this beta software on your computer, we encourage you to obtain the final release version of Windows Vista when it is available in 2007.

For Office 2007 Beta 2, it isn't supported on Windows vista builds earlier than 5384, so any issues that you find in build 5308 compatibility mode aren't going to be too valid in trying to wring out bugs in Office 2007 before it launches

You have received the maximum number of Product Keys available for this
program.
Note: Windows Vista Beta 2 can be installed and activated on up to 10
PCs using with one Product Key.

And that's it - I can't download it !
I think they have a bug in the system: it noted my email to track that I
did get a key , but now prevents me from getting the download.

Thanks Bob.

I also noted THIS at the end of the page for any " XP upgraders":

In addition, once you install Windows Vista Beta 2 (or RC1) you cannot roll back to the previous operating system installation-you will either have to acquire and install the final released edition of Windows Vista or reinstall a previous edition of Windows.
