In CRM 4.0 Rollup 9 and earlier, there was a statement in the ReadMe file that said

Special Condition

Microsoft Office 2010 is still in the beta stage of development. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 was tested together with Microsoft Office 2010. Additionally, issues can be logged by the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Support team. Therefore, the hotfix to resolve the issues may not be available until Microsoft Office 2010 is released.

Even if Microsoft removed the statement from the Roll Up 10 Read Me, it seems that the ribbon behavior stayed the same…

The toolbar seems to work fine, but it is a little non-aesthetic. Hoping this will be corrected in Rollup 11...

Two documents were published by Microsoft to enable transactional replication of data between CRM Databases. Yes, it is supported, but only a commercial reasonable support will be provided.

A note here, only data that was created by replication can be replicated, so it’s not a workaround to write directly in the CRM database ;)

Supportability
Commercially reasonable support will be provided for the SQL replication based solution described within this document. Commercially reasonable support is defined as all reasonable support efforts by Microsoft Customer Service and Support that do not require Microsoft Dynamics CRM code fixes. This support extends to Microsoft provided code and samples, but not to custom developed code which is the responsibility of the ISV or developer.

Problem with the Calendar Schedule? With reports? and maybe a another bunch of CRM 3.0 modules?

... the first thing is to check the Framework Version used. CRM 3.0 works almost all with .NET 2.0. But it is not developed for the Framework 2.0. Version 1.1 should be used, and this solve almost all problems.

I found this article that explains how to redeploy an organization including the data to another instance in the enterprise version of CRM.
