Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise

I have an opportunity to purchase pre-release version of Microsoft Office
2007 Enterprise. Would this be a Beta edition? Would I be able to register
the product? Any thoughts from MS here? Am I treading in deep water buying
something like this?

Thanks

Considering that I'm just a peer...

Yes.
It is time limited considering it is a beta edition.
Yes.

By the way, http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/default.mspx indicates
that the beta 2 version is coming. On the right is a place to register and
possible try it. Considering that it sounds like someone is doing something
fishy under the hood by selling a "beta" copy of Office 2007, I would
definitely not do business with them.

I kinda thought so. $24.95 for a $500 dollar program (or better) is really
just too much to believe. I am an instructor for a local community college.
Maybe MS will help me out in this matter (HINT! HINT!) Maybe I can test the
beta and then upon my testing upgrade to the real mccoy for my testing 'fee'.
...ah...now that sounds like a deal...

Thank you for your thoughts Neo

Hey JoAnn,

Go to Ebay. Do a search on '9707219662'. That's where it's being sold. If
you are employed by MS then by all means have at it. I wouldn't know how to
get the ball rolling anyway.

Hope this helps

I'm not an MS employee but I'll see if I can't find the right person.
