Well not quite, but close enough if you are looking at purchasing in upcoming months.

Im running the 2010 beta on all my machines, is lightning quick and I have no probems with it at all.
Running the version helps too :)

If customers purchase Office 2007 between March 5, 2010 and September 30, 2010, Microsoft will allow you to download and upgrade to Office 2010 for free.

Why do you guys bother paying for Microsoft Office when there's free Open Office?! :)

I've been running O2K10B1 for quite a while now. Some bugs I've found, and incompatibilities, but nothing a normal user would come accross (I was testing with a DMS integrated with it... Not so integrated). I should grab Beta 2.

Actually I'm surprised you can't just get a license key after signing up to technet. That's how people could trial Win7 for free... Perfectly legit.

Likewise Poita.... I have access to all Microsoft software except their games (with the exception of Flight Sim 2005 I think... God know why they consider that an application.,.. It's barely a game)

Ahhh the joys of being Gold Partner :)
