Wow! I would have loved an invite. Can't wait to see if all the features of Works are intact or it is severely crippled. Btw there's no replacement for the Works database.

When this is released is it going to be available for free? I heard it is replacing ms works but can anyone go and download this version for free legally?

hmm, the advert is a bit too massive for people to put up with it for long..

It's pretty sweet, but, uh, aren't you under the NDA still? I know I am, and posting this could get you in a bit of trouble if they can trace your username.

It will come preloaded on PC's, just like MS works did. It's up to OEM's to choose to load it.

The reason there are ads is because this is a free version, of course they want it to be annoying, they want to sell you office!

Right now I think like most people I'm using Office 2007, and it's pretty neat. I believe 2010 has some more enhanced graphics capabilities, which is what keeps me involved mostly with it I guess, haha.

The ads are annoying. With as much money as Microsoft has, you would think they can do without the ads. Small companies like Adium and Digsby don't even have 1/4 of the money MS has and they don't fill their software with annoying ads all over the place.

The last time I went to install Digsby on my laptop, it prompted me to install a bunch of essentially adware. I said no thanks, and didn't install it at all. Adium on the other hand, is still awesome.

I got into the Beta for this. It runs pretty nicely :) A few missing features and ads are a bit annoying. But still nice :)

As long as the ads ONLY show up in the bottom-right, it's tolerable. But I do wonder about the feature set... If it's equivalent in features to, say, the Home & Student Edition, then it's really not a bad deal at all. But if all I'm getting is a "free" version of WordPad wrapped in an Office shell... No thanks.

Certainly an improvement over Works, but Microsoft and advertising don't work together well, most of the adverts in Messenger just say Windows Live Messenger or Bing or Windows Phone. It gives the impression they struggle to sell ad space because why advertise Windows Live Messenger on it, if I can see it I've already got it installed.

Nothing beats Office 2003.

Nothing beats Office 2003.

Try writing calculus problems and notes on the Chinese Remainder Theorem on Word 2003, then try the same thing on Word 2007. :cool:

Nothing beats Office 2003.

IMHO Office 2007 beats it hands down. I shudder whenever I have to use anything pre-2007 - especially when searching for emails in Outlook ;)

....So you want Office to be given away for free? What's the incentive for people to buy the product when it's free? You've got a bad case of OSS, my friend. (Open Source Snobbery) A small ad in the corner is a small price to pay for $100+ worth of free software.

I wonder if there will be an A-patch for it :laugh:

Seriously I doubt it will be long before somebody is able to remove the ads ;)
