Office 2010 Beta Public Download Site URL is Live

Hi all

If Office 2010 has an expiry date which means one will have to revert to a previous version of Office this will obviously be NO good for businesses -- OFFICE documents / data are often collectively worth FAR MORE than the hardware they are run on.

It's quite one thing updating a computer to a new version of an OS - but it is a totally different matter to get a new Office program accepted. Sometimes spread sheets / presentations etc are quite old but still have loads of complex macros in them.

A very complex application in common use is the SAP BW/BI business data warehouse / data mining system which integrates a huge amount of OLAP (Online Analatyical Processing) into Quries which are transferred to EXCEL - the Bex or Query explorer is tightly linked to Excel and if this doesn't work then for a lot of people it's a no-no.

Here's an example of what I mean (screen shot enc).

Cheers

Obviously you guys have never tired it with some nice pasta with pesto sauce and with it mixed in. Or spinach lasagna with meat or chicken or pure vegies. Italian food does wonder to all those green stuff you guys seem to not like.

Sounds great, do you deliver?

maybe if in cali you could stop by. we eat it quite often, that sometimes i actually feel sick of eating it.



As for office 2010, ill wait till it comes out. I still really like 2003 if only it was a bit flashy with aero. 2007 is so annoying even though i know how to use it. I can get used to things, but 07 office was and still is not streamed and flowing?". Might be the clutter.

Waiting for the download link... :)

Microsoft Office Beta - Office.com

Gee, no kidding? I wonder why this thread is called "Office 2010 Beta Public Download Site URL is Live" and has that same link to the beta public download page on Post #1, followed by 4 straight pages of people wondering when the download link will get turned on?
