Test drive Office 2007 now online
If you want to experience the great changes in 2007 Microsoft Office System first-hand, you can now log in to the Office 2007 test drive and try out the whole list of applications. This is really awesome--and it works faster than I expected. All the features are fully functional (except save and print); you can place graphics, apply templates, create, format, and search data, and much more. If takes only a few minutes to set up and you can get a real-world preview of the applications, kick its tires, and more. The UI alone is worth the trouble. Take it out for a test drive and step into the future of Microsoft Office. :) (Can you tell I'm psyched about this new release? I've been writing about Office products since Word for Windows 3.1--do you remember back that far? :)--and I am more excited about this release than any I've experienced yet. It's smart smart smart.)
[note: For a little backstory, here's a link to a quick interview I did for The Hive with Dennis Bye, Microsoft Senior Marketing Manager and the brains behind the Office 2007 test drive.]

I get so excited when I look at and read about Office 2007. HOWEVER, working for a non profit who still uses Windows 98 (I'm not kidding) and Office 2000 I am just wondering how long it will be that offices adopt this?
You know, Rebecca, that's a really good point. Office 2007 includes many new features that make working with the various applications smarter--and because it's all based on XML, the files are smaller, easier to recover, and easier to use in other forms. I'll see whether I can find out anything about specific reasons for nonprofits to adopt--I used to work with nonprofits and I know that we never changed anything unless we really had to...our hands were full! Thanks for writing! :) k
