Default Stuck with Office 2007? Oops!

Read this entire article from the Sun-Times about the new Office 2007!
Downloader BEWARE!!

http://www.suntimes.com/output/workt...in-andy13.html

Here's a snippet from that article:
It's called "Bargaining," folks. Microsoft is so late late late with
both Windows Vista and what was originally going to be called Microsoft
Office 12 that at this stage, the only way to placate the huddled masses
is to just let them use the software-in-progress -- now dubbed Office
2007 -- for free.

Go on and download it from
www.microsoft.com/office/preview/beta/

It's fully functional.

One caveat: the beta is free and fully functional, but it stops working
in February. And because Office 2007 uses a new file format, you might
wind up stuck with 2007 files that your paid-for copy of Office 2003
can't open.

I mean, hey, Microsoft might be slow, but they're not stupid.
