Despite me wanting this so badly, I think I'll hold off on downloading a leaked version. I honestly lost my lust for leaked versions of anything. =|
Oh Um random but if anyone has an Xbox 360, go to htt://tr.im/livepreview and sign in with your Microsoft Connect account, you'll be asked to do an application to sign up for early access things on the xbox 360 (new dashboards, features, etc.)
Thanks,
Steve
Just a glimmer of hope for those not accepted into the limited preview - office 2010 will be available as a public Beta
May mean a wait but at least light at the end of the tunnel
There will be a "beta" sometime later in the fall."

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else but there are some demo videos available at Microsoft Showcase ....

Public Betas are not actually a new thing for Microsoft, but office has normally only been available to private testers, during the development stage. I believe the sucess of the Windows 7 Beta and the changes in personelle at the top of Microsoft will mean that "public" testing may well become the norm in future
