No thank you....
Is this just for excel and word?
I thought it was all office programs but I could be wrong.
The download I was given was just excel and word but maybe I was sent something else. Doesn't matter because I use Thunderbird for email on my laptops and don't need powerpoint or access.
All apps are available. This beta is a ton better than the first one they put out. Its coming along nicely.
Bostine, is it any better than Open Office or just an alternative? I have not used Microsoft Office in several years so Open Office is all that I can use for comparison.

What sucks though is you have to uninstall any prior versions of Office. If I had a machine I could do this with I would so no thanks, I don't want to use a beta version as my every day office suite.
So is it actually good for a year? I will get it for that. Figure out something else a year from now....

Thanks Bostine! "if you are comfortable with OO, might as well stick with the free for now." is luke warm enough to make me do it. I simply have no problems with Open Office and cannot see trying Microsoft Office again, even if free, unless it is considerably better.
Interesting, might try that on one of my machines now if that is the case. I swore on the download site it said you had to remove any existing versions.Quote:
