Download Full Version of Microsoft Office 2010 Starter Edition Free

Be advised that now you may experience problems with System Restore. Office 2010 is known to conflict with the Shadow Copy Service and try to create restore points for the mysterious Q drive that is created. This often causes restore points to become corrupted and unusable. I would highly recommend using Office 2007 instead.
I've been using Office 2010 since it was first released and have never had any problems with either
system restore or the Windows Image backup process.

I had problems with the Starter Edition corrupting restore points and if you Google it, you'll find I'm not the only one. It mainly happens if you have installed the click to run part. The virtualization is where the problem lies.

Microsoft to begin automatic Internet Explorer upgrades in 2012
In January 2012, Microsoft will begin installing the latest version of Internet Explorer on Windows PCs automatically, via Windows Update.
Will it be IE9 or IE 10 ???

As long as someone sends me money for a system that can run IE 10.  ;)

If you can run windows 7, you can run Windows 8 Developers Copy and it already comes with IE 10.

From what I read, Vista and 7 users will get IE10 (if available, if not, then 9). XP users will still only get 8 if they don't already have it.
