TFS B3R and Office12

I've installed the TF-Client on a computer with Office2003 ... all worked just fine. Then I upgraded to Office12 B1. Now Excel and Project have problems to connect to the server:

TF84034: Team Fundation was unable to initialize the workbook. This document will no longer be associated with a Team Foundation server:
TF80071: Team Foundation ecountered an error while accessing the work item database. Please contact the Team Foundation Server administrator.


I'v tried to install the client... no luck
Is TFS B3R not supporting Office12

    TFS B3R will not work with Excel12 Beta1. This is because our addin is developed with Office2003 Object Model and there are few backward compatibility bugs in Office12 object model which needs to be fixed by Excel12 team.

    Excel12 Beta2 will have the fix and will work with TFS.
