I don't think i'll use a beta version for for my doc's. I need them to be bug free. Maybe shortly after it exits beta.

I'm curious to know if Microsoft will offer a similar student deal to the amazing Office 2007 Ultimate one!

Thanks for the links Ievar :)

Downloading now and I shall let you know how it goes, but i'm downloading this as work so its well slow!

I feel like my comments are being erased... or may that be it was another topic... can't seem to remember.

I don't like microsoft betas, they have way too many bugs and security holes, maybe once the RC comes up.

Windows 7 beta was awesome and virtually bug free.

Does this interfere with Office 2007 in any way? Can I run both of them at the same time?

u should be able to run both at the same time.

How long about trail period

Note: Beta is not exactly "Trial"
Beta is meant for testers to test the Office version to see if it works properly
