Daily Cup of Tech

One of the things that ticked me off about the latest round of Microsoft Office beta testing was that you needed to pay Microsoft to try out Office 2007 so that you could tell them where the problems were. Is it just me or does Microsoft have this backwards? I was under the impression that someone paid me to do work for them, not the other way around!

So, I said, “Forget it!” and figured that I would leave it until it came out. After all, I am just a poor blogger.

But, that wait appears to have ended sooner than I thought. And, without having to even shell out any of my hard earned money. Microsoft is letting you test drive the 2007 Microsoft Office Suite online. You can try out:

• Microsoft Office Access 2007
• Microsoft Office Excel 2007
• Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007
• Microsoft Office OneNote 2007
• Microsoft Office Outlook 2007
• Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager
• Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access
• Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007
• Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007
• Microsoft Office Publisher 2007
• Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007
• Microsoft Office Visio 2007
• Microsoft Office Word 2007

So go give it a try but be sure to use Internet Explorer because the Citrix client is not too (Fire)foxy.
