| Has anyone else expereinced this and if so how have you rectified it? |
I simply uninstalled the desktop search, as it is not necessary to run the 2007 beta. I just click the "Ask me later" (or similar) button upon launching Outlook each time.
I have run the beta with and without uninstalling Office 2003 without any issues, so have not seen any conflicts with the Outlook 2007 beta.
The desktop search adds 2 or 3 processes, and does seem to affect the system speed (of course, it is a beta).

| Is it me, or is there no way of spesifying where to install it? |
Did you click the "Custom" button when the install began after extraction?
I used the "Install" button on the clean install, and the "Update" button (which replaced the "Install" button) when I installed on top of Office 2003. In both cases, there was also a "Custom" button, but I did not explore those options. There may be an opportunity to select the install path in that dialog.

My res is set to 1280x1024, but when I open any office2007 program its drawn as, I speculate, a lower resolution like 1024 or 800? I can't find anything in the view, tools, or options that would make this happen so I'm very confused?
See linked screen for example:

Anyways... I think I have to wait a few days to get the Vista Beta as the MS servers are getting hammered atm.

I have said this before. Office 2007 is not compatible with Outlook 2003. You must uninstall Outlook 2003 or there will be problems.
