Want to be Microsoft's guinea pig? Now's your chance. Microsoft is offering a free open beta of Office 2010 Professional for anyone interested. In Office 2010, you'll get the usual suspects plus some new toys.

    I just installed it. It seems to work great. There's a transition ribbon in power point that is pretty cool. When the beta period is over what happens? Do you lose the ability to use the program?

    They gave us Open Office at work which is OK by me because I have been using it for a few years now and like it alot. The problem is the dumb-ass bosses use MS Office 2007 and send us docx and xlsx files. Why use 2 different programs for the same purpose? Why not just use the free program?

    Many files I create in 07 and move to an 03 loaded computer don't work. I wonder if 10 will correct this issue.

    So far, I'm really impressed with Office 2010! Especially the new Outlook. Works great in Win 7!

    The software will stop running on 31/10/2010. You will not receive any other notice. You may not be able to access data used with the software when it stops running.
