Just to add to this: Everyone (including retail customers) will be able
to buy a release version of Office 2007 prior to the beta expiration
date. The retail (and OEM) versions will be released in January.

All 2007 Microsoft Office system Beta 2 software has an expiration date of
February 1, 2007. After expiration, 2007 Microsoft Office system Beta 2 will
continue to work in a reduced functionality mode that limits your options
and operations.
