SubscribeYep, I did it - I downloaded the Office 2007 beta before it becomes a paid download tomorrow (Wednesday). And is it cool or what! So far I’ve only tested Word 2007 (which I’m using to write this post), and just that is enough to get me excited. Can’t wait to test out the rest!

I’ve actually been using Office 2007 instead of Office 2003 whenever possible (except for Outlook, since the 2007 and 2003 versions can’t co-exist on the same system for some reason). [...]
