Yes, OpenOffice is a great free alternative with many of the most-used office features that work quite well. However, to compare that piece of software to a far more dense, functional, and compatible suite like Office 2007 just shows your complete and utter ignorance.
Advocating open source software is all fine and good, but do NOT dare do that by trying to mislead people with lies. - scarycomp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+40I'd hate to publicly acknowledge that I'm a Microsoft fan boy, but I've been waiting for this for a while. Now where's Vista Customer Preview?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21All 2007 Microsoft Office system Beta 2 software has an expiration date of February 1, 2007. After expiration, 2007 Microsoft Office system Beta 2 will continue to work in a reduced functionality mode that limits your options and operations.
- calhoun, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25OpenOffice is free, which is definitely nice, but it defnitely doesn't have the features Office has. One day...
- Blarbo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25Unfortunetely, Openoffice is NOT better. It is very good, but MS Office is the gold standard for a reason. I actually wish openoffice was better then MS Office, then I would use it instead.
- KarbonKopy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21http://download.esd.licensetech.com/Microsoft/DMMSO12B/PRO/AKAMAIFILES/OPPLUS-EN.EXE
Direct link to the download, though I'm not able to get past the profile (I'm guessing for the cdkey?).
This way we can at least start the download! - BaCk1a5h, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21Yes, but no one cares, this is quite free also. =-)
- trollenlord, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Wrong. It is office productivity suite. Word processing is only one tiny piece of that stuff.
- tthiel, on 10/12/2007, -12/+26Funny disclaimer
"Beta software does not necessarily display the same high level of stability of shipped Microsoft products.'
Ha ha good one Microsoft. - bluephoenix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14anyone else have a connection failure after updating your live profile?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17More diggs makes you a better person. True story.
Get over it? - Greymarch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I cant understand how people feel the need to bash Microsoft, when they provide you with a FREE BETA! Good lord people, its free! You have no right to complain. Microsoft doesnt have to provide this beta. Be thankful you get to try the product for free before you buy it.
Unbelievable. Not only do some Digg users look a gift-horse in the mouth, they try to brush its teeth. - spyrochaete, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10wow that's pretty generous!
- spyrochaete, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7That's what Vista is for! Doing antialiasing in software mode takes tons of CPU. Isn't XP's "Show contents while dragging" slow enough already? Vista's Aero UI will be DX9 accelerated so you can expect all kinds of visual goody gumdrops!
- logicmethod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@satch: Way to generalize. Lots of Open Office banter, but that's to be expected, and is relevant to this discussion. You, however, were the first to bring up the ridiculous Mac / PC debate, which doesn't even make sense considering that many (if not most) business Mac users run Microsoft Office for the Mac. If you feel comfortable calling a user group "*****" because of their OS choice, I would be interested to hear your comments on racism.
- bluephoenix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7by the way this download is flying...400Mb in 2 minutes
- calhoun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7FYI Vista Beta 2 is available to MSDN Subscribers
- CrimsonBlur, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7What the hell are you talking about? Apple users? What does that have to do with anyone bashing Microsoft? Especially considering this is OFFICE we are talking about. Office has been on the Mac from the beginning, some would argue that the Mac versions are better (including the Mac Office team). OpenOffice zealots are all Linux and Windows users anyway. I think OpenOffice is a great free productivity package, but MS Office is still a significantly better product and worth the price.
- kirkio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I can confirm this. I get these same keys as well.
- IcyStorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Does anyone else have trouble activating their Office?
- anonymonk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Thanks for the direct links jho. I used WackGet to download. I could not get the Office Downloader (SmartSource for Office Downloads) to validate my login, so these links saved the day.
- troydoogle7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8I dugg him, because I thought he looked cooler than you did.....
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6This download also contains SharePoint Server 2007!
- j_h_o, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Yes, complain about the free beta.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12Thanks for alerting us. Now I need to rush out and spend 2 cents on a new hard drive.
2 gigs seems completely reasonable for the amount of functionality office brings. - TubaTechno, on 10/12/2007, -9/+14most windows crashes are due to third party software and user error....get a clue people
- matija, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4http://download.esd.licensetech.com/Microsoft/DMMSO12B/PRO/AKAMAIFILES/OPPLUS-EN.EXE
works for me, 700kbsec, on first try.. i would just keep retrying if its not working for you - logicmethod, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7After looking at the screenshots, I still wonder why Microsoft can develop all kinds of GUI enhancements, but still can't figure out how to anti-alias rounded corners on windows. Call me picky, but as an interactive designer, things like that really stand out to me.
With the exception of the ambiguous "windows bubble button", my impression of the ribbon interface paradigm and overall coherence of the UI is positive. - chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I did that but it's totally screwed my office up. I can't open anything and most of my files got corrupt.
I have no idea what happened. It kept coming up with "Close this program | retry | abort" but it did not tell me what program to close just a message saying "Close this program" -- what the installer, windows what?
I closed all my background tasks that I could and it finished the install then started going backwards and then came up with the above error. Really weird.
makes a good advert for OpenOffice don't it. - kirkio, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5When I go to sign up, I get the error:
Server Error in '/Shop' Application.
Server Too Busy - Night201, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4There is no "classic version" - what you see is how it will be and only how it will be.
- j_h_o, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This is a Win32 x86 release... so... no OS X.
- yoshihama, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Having worked at Sun and been FORCED to use StarOffice (which is essentially the same as OpenOffice), I can say that it is by no means 'better' than MS Office. It's a Java based app, so it's a slow moving resource hog, even on my 2.4Ghz 1GB RAM computer. Also, the level of polish in the UI is not there, and some of the actions that they force the user to perform are just wonky.
I'll concede that OpenOffice is cheaper, but for some things in this world you still get what you pay for. - TimRogers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Wow *wants legal vista more*
- bluephoenix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6In coming weeks, Microsoft will start the Windows Vista Customer Preview Program (CPP) to allow developers and IT professionals who are not a part of those programs to obtain the code and begin their own testing. Also as part of the CPP, Microsoft will invite a broader group of technology enthusiasts to receive a build of the operating system to begin testing the various consumer scenarios that Windows Vista enables.
- EasY_TargeT, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9did we digg effect M$?
- scotw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3it looks funny at first but once you start using it, the ribbon is very good. Worth a try.
- troydoogle7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yep looks like microsoft has falen to the digg effect, I kept pressing f5 and eventually it went through. Looks like they are using smartsource, whihc looks like their own version of the bittorent for the download....
- kirkio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You can choose in the advanced install options whether or not you want it to upgrade (overwrite) or leave the current version and still install the new version.
- spyrochaete, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Don't you know the best way to deal with overloaded servers?? Just keep hitting F5 until it works!
Do this until you are assigned your free product key, and then download Office from this direct and hella fast link:
http://download.esd.licensetech.com/Microsoft/DMMSO12B/PRO/AKAMAIFILES/OPPLUS-EN.EXE - jdibiase, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Expiration Date
All 2007 Microsoft Office system Beta 2 software has an expiration date of February 1, 2007. After expiration, 2007 Microsoft Office system Beta 2 will continue to work in a reduced functionality mode that limits your options and operations. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7and even if it did, try to convince millions of businesses to use it!
- Blarbo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's a beta, not like your paying money for it or anything.
- NinjaBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah, im using IE7 and cant get it to work. same error.
- tiamat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3FYI The only bit of Office 2007 that is incompatible with Office 2003 is Outlook. Outlook 2003 and 2007 won't co-exist on the same machine, but you can install Office 2007 beside Office 2003 (sans Outlook) as long as you make sure to change the default install directory.You can have either Outlook, just not both.
- dmthomas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Free betas are cool. I'm gonna try it when I get home. But... don't fool yourself completely it isn't out of the goodness of a company's heart to provide a free beta. They are getting free testing out of you (if you choose to provide feedback that is).
- denied, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Direct link is very handy, thx jho. MS's survey is too long.
- theblooms, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I still prefer Wordstar, Visicalc and dBase II.
- samgab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Thanks for those links JHO... Microsoft seems to be suffering from the "Digg effect"....
