Cool Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2

So has anyone downloaded and tried this yet?

http://www.microsoft.com/office/prev...n/default.mspx

It's the entire suite for free and it's really cool. It's such a huge difference from the Office 2000 I've been using for years. It's a big 450 mb download but I think it's worth it. You have to log in to download it but all you need is a hotmail account and you don't even need to give them legit info or anything. I just put in garbledy gook for all fields besides email. The installer is fairly smart and will remove previous versions of office if you have them. Also, you can use the key they give you to install it on as many computers as you like. I've installed it on two computers so far so I just assume it'll allow for more. It does have you activate it at the end when you first run an office program.

My big question is does this last forever? It even let's you do updates and seriously you'll need to run windows update after installing this. There were like 14 updates or something that appeared after putting on the system. I hope it doesn't use the update system to make you stop using it or something. Anyway, I heard that those who got Office 2003 Beta are still using it today so that gives me hope.

What do you guys think?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I happen to like the ribbon. It's very user friendly.

Do you have any idea when it will expire? How did people get around the Office 2k3 beta expiration?

My coworker and I have had no issues with running it at the same time. I dunno if that's just a mac thing. We're using PCs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sounds good. I'll probably get a legit version as long as it doesn't cost more than 200 bucks.

How ya doing, buddy?

Also, being able to make PDF files ain't no thang. Just get one for free. I use this program all the time to print ANYTHING that can be printed to a pdf file.

I heard that exporting on the Mac is something that is just built in or something. Why doesn't Adobe give Apple crap about that? Or is it just PDF viewing is built in. I might have heard that wrong.

Although I've found alternatives it would be nice if Microsoft just paid Adobe a fee for exporting PDFs in Office and kept the feature.

I was speaking idiomatically.
