Office 2010 hasn't been adopted by the validation process yet. I would expect that it will be before any major addons or the first service pack from MS.
AFAIK, Office 2010 is supposed to be self-validating? (how they reckon on that, is anyone's guess! <g>)
Even if that's true, the validation tools should have been tweaked to at least acknowledge the presence of the suite, so that people can see that it's installed properly. The fact that a few months after RTM, no-one has said/done anything about it doesn't
give me a warm feeling about the chinese walls within MS.
Office always has tended to go its own way, and break the rules laid down by the OS side - and things seem to have been getting worse over the past few years.
Now the OS even breaks its own rules - perhaps because the guy who now runs the OS used to run Office.
