You need to pay $1.50 to download Office 2007 Beta 2. I don't know how
much MS charges for sending a DVD to you. Note that the Beta 2 Technical
Refresh (B2TR), the update to Beta 2, is available for free, but only as
download. The catch with B2TR is that you need to have Beta 2 installed
before you install B2TR.

so if i get beta 2 on dvd or download it when the next version becomes
available will i have to buy the download and/or dvd again? like if beta 3
or office 2007 rc1 came out after i bought beta 2?

There won't be any beta 3 or rc1 according to news articles. B2TR is
apparently the last public build of Office 2007.
B2TR is essentially Beta3/RC1.
So pay the $1.50, download Beta 2. Then download the patch for Beta2
called B2TR for free and you have the most up to date Office beta. The
next publically available release of Office seems to be the one that
will cost a few hundred dollars.
For links to B2TR, see my website.
