Office 2007 Beta Programs reconfigure each time

[Jo]

Outlook and other 2007 Programs want to reconfigure upon launch. This does
not seem related to any other program running. It is really annoying to have
to wait for the status bar to fill.

This seems to be worse after I downloaded the update to the Beta programs.

Somehow it also is affecting my Office Pro 2003 programs. Why should that be?

Microsoft has to do something about this, it is making me re-think
recommending the Beta to anyone now.

1. Why would anyone recommend a BETA that is due to end in 2 weeks?

2. If you use Office 2003 apps and Office 2007 apps interchangeably, this is the normal behavior. Each version needs to reconfigure the ..dlls it uses for its functions. When you switch to another version of the same app, the same thing applies. One reason Microsoft discourages people from running 2 or more versions on the same machine.
