    Thanks - downloading it now :)

    I like the way Microsoft recommend the 32 Bit version even for 64 Bit Windows :confused:

    I really feel you should mention it is a BETA version just to make it clear to the people see the word 'free' and then click and download.

    Was just about to post this! It's not in fact free as it will stop working in October 2010.

    No, I got mine straight away. I think you need to be using Internet Explorer for it to work. It never works for me on Chrome, and not always on Firefox. Perfect on IE though.

    Microsoft don't seem to be interested in Chrome either. The web version of office will only support IE, Firefox and Safari. But not Chrome. :(

    Oh. Won't let me install the 64 bit version anyway because I use a couple of 32 bit Office 2003 programs.

    I agree this should be mentioned as Beta this is not in fact RTM version nor is it free forever as its limited time period

    Thanks anyway
