My god.. just formatted so re-downloading office 2007 and its trying to charge me £1.50 for the use of their servers to download from.. !!!!!!?
The worst thing is its not accepting my billing address saying it doesnt match the card? Used 3 different damn cards before sending them an aggressive frustrated email as I need to do my girlfriends cv by tonight !!!!!!!!! (or she'll kill me haha)
Open office is all well and good but then when opened in word looks completely diff!

Sorry, don't have it. Just how many megabytes do you think the PM would be?!

PS I'll answer the question for you! Beta file sizes range from 75 MB to 1 GB, depending on the products you choose. (See "View File Size/Download Times Chart" below the "Download the Beta Now" in http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/beta/getthebeta.mspx)0 -
downloaded it fine, its $1.50 or £1.20.
It just does not like your credit card.0 -

Don't you just love the way we get ripped off on downloadable software? 50% mark-up relative to the true exchange rate just for being in rip-off Britain.0 -
