I just found out today that Microsoft has made a beta version of Office 2007 available for download. As much as I’d love to have a Mac, I must say that the screenshots of Office 2007 that I’ve seen are impressive. At the same time, though, it looks like Office 2007’s interface is dumbed down quite a bit, a somewhat frustrating prosepect for more advanced users.

I’m 200 MB into the 440 MB download … maybe I’ll post a little something once I test it out … if I ever get around to it with all the work and fun activities (?) that promise to keep me busy. I’m afraid to install it on my laptop, though, becuase of the uncertainty regarding what it might do to my existing installation of Office 2003. I’ll probably try it out on my 800 MHz AMD desktop.
