I thought you could just 'download' this version on the net, no? what do you mean leaked? Don't tell me microsoft internal network got hacked again
Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?

I imagine you could always download a few gb of the beta from the usual suspect warez sites :rolleyes: , this was a link for those who'd rather have a boxed set For one, my time is worth more than the $24 to have it sent to me... it was available on the MS dev sites a week or so ago, but who wants to download 12-15gb of files?

I actually wonder how they manage to add so many more cds while only adding 3 apps. This sounds like amnother required few gigs. (remember when windows was 50megs)

If someone plans to update to office 2k3 anyways, this would probably be a good deal. FP is one cd, for the near-sighted, that's Beta 2, not 2 CD's

why a good deal? I am sure the beta is time limited and you will have to pay full price afterwards anyway no? or do you get a rebate for testing?

It's a good deal because I just picked up a notebook pc for when I am out of town and now I don't have to buy MS Office to go on it until december or later Also, I can decide which apps I like and must have and which I don't really need and purchase the appropriate version when the time comes.

They expire Nov 30, at which time some of the features are disabled until you upgrade or uninstall. I plan to upgrade anyways, so this gives me time to use it until then.

Haha, my new job is working for one of the top Microsoft developers on the planet, and an author of tons of books and articles in Windows, .net and SQL magazines. I also get every piece of M$ software including some early alpha code. I can honestly say that I can't think of anyway to improve my job, and the fact that our building is a block from the beach north of San Diego doesn't hurt...
Oh yeah, Beta1 of Outlook 11 was more stable than Beta2 so be careful with it...and of course have fun...

Haha, I forgot that it isn't released yet, it went RTM a month and a half ago and I've using the gold version ever since. You're gonna love it, it's amazing. If you have a chance to connect to a SharePoint server you've going to be amazed at the document management capabilities.
