What Office 365 anyway? Basically you don't need to install hundreds of MB of Office files (if not GB) into you laptop or computer. All you need is to install a very small program from MS and internet connection. Everything you do will be through internet connection, and then the cloud server will store all your works (SKyDrive in this case).
If you already have hotmail or Windows Live account, you can directly sign-in with the user name and password.
Okay, here come installation time. I need to download the setup file which is smaller than 1MB.
Okay, now after the file being downloaded. Double click on it and start the installtion process. So I waited and waited. Somehow nothing happen. Okay, kill it on task manager. Double click the setup file again. Now something show up:
Wait a minute, I am using Windows 7, the original version. Yes, I have validated that through some MS genuine validation tool. Now why you say I am not Windows 7 or above?
Then I go back to download the 64bit version. 32bits was the recommended version, therefore I downloaded it first. But 64bits version also gave me the same result, which is:
I was too lazy to find out the root cause. Therefore this post.
However I am still able to create new MS Office docs or edit them on SkyDrive. The interface I used I supposed is Office 2010, not Office 365.
Come on MS, please give me a break, if you really want to give out free trial, please make sure everyone can install it. Thanks.
