Did you notice that there are 2 entries for "2007 Microsoft Office system", and that they forgot to capitalize the word "system"?

Now I would like to know what the Microsoft Office Mondo 2007 is...

Update: It appears that Mondo was an earlier beta version of Office System 2007. No idea why it's still listed with a product id though.

Office 2007 Product Key Fun

Did anyone notice that the developers at Microsoft have chosen special product keys for the Office System 2007?

When traversing the registry for remains of the beta versions that were blocking the install of the RTM version (see previous post), I noticed that the product keys all end in "0000000FF1CE" (e.g. 30120000-006E-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE).
At first sight, nothing special to see... however, if you read it in the language many hackers use for their patches, warez and keygenerators, it reads "OFFICE" with the O replaced by zero and the I replaced by a 1.

Just thought it was fun...

Btw: If you still can't install Office 2007 after removing all the products mentioned in my last post, you should scan the registry for "-0000-0000000FF1CE". By manually removing those entries, setup should start without any problems. No warranties of course, you're on your own there...
