Microsoft Office 2007 Beta!

Register Page

Microsoft Office 2007 is available for free for non-MSDN subscribers. All you need is a .NET account. This is a partially limited beta (obviously), but it had most of the features I would use, so it doesn't really matter.

Look out for the soon-to-happen Vista public beta, too

Fr3@k3r · 05-24-06, 05:09 AM

yeah got my email @ my hotmail account.. followed the link, signed up to my Beta account and got my registration code, downloaded, installed and updated..

havent had a problem yet... and i dont think i will because it doesnt seem to be too buggy at all.

synthetic_fenix · 05-24-06, 05:17 AM

I have become happy with Openoffice.

Neuromancer · 05-24-06, 05:21 AM

There is also available a web page designer free download with registration. Its called Microsoft Expression Web Designer

How it differs from Sharepoint 2007 I have not explored it yet. DLed and installed that was as far as I got. Waiting for this interminable Vista DL to happen. (guess thats the problem with getting it next day MSs servers are clogged )

jiggamanjb · 05-24-06, 05:46 AM

nice! i will check it out!

itshondo · 05-24-06, 08:29 AM

Does it include a complete working version of Outlook?

Only reason I use office at all is for excel (graphs) but I might give this a try if it works on wine

Archer36 · 05-24-06, 09:20 AM

Yep got it last night, don't really care for the interface but that is because I still use Office 2000 and Oo on linux.

nikhsub1 · 05-24-06, 10:13 AM

I have downloaded it but not installed it yet. The big reason to switch to 2007 IMO is because it is all .xml based, or so they say.

Bullnettles · 05-24-06, 10:41 AM

Thanks for the link. D/Ling as we speak, I'm a fan of both Office and OO. Like them both, and I'm ready to try this one out.

Sir. BOBSONATOR · 05-24-06, 07:16 PM

I think its very nice and a lot more visual than the previos offices.

NsOmNiA91130 · 05-24-06, 08:01 PM

^I agree.

The layout is very simple. It shows you a portion of what you would use, but in that portion, there's everything you would need. For example:
The "Home" tab has most of your formatting tools, heading options, and paragraph styles.
The "Insert" tab has buttons to insert a picture, clipart, hyperlink, charts, etc.
And so on and so forth.

The general UI design is very clean, and I like the backdrop to your paper. The "File" menu is now a button with all sorts of options for printing and saving and whatnot.

Don't forget about Vista

Alchemy1 · 05-24-06, 09:38 PM

Hopefully vista will see the light of day...sooner or later. http://theinquirer.net/?article=31929

Cyrix_2k · 05-24-06, 10:20 PM

I see they've changed it since Beta One. Personally, I'm happy with Office 12 Beta One so I'm going to pass on this one.

itshondo · 05-24-06, 11:10 PM

Downloading now. Not too keen on how many hoops I had to jump through to get to the download though.

itshondo · 05-25-06, 08:38 AM

I like it-
