Finally got around to downloading it tonight. The download site doesn't work in Chrome (big surprise) and was a little buggy under Firefox. Nothing a couple refreshes wouldn't cure.
Anyway, guess I'll leave this beast on tonight and then install it tomorrow. I really have to applaud MS for beta access. One, it short circuits the torrent sites outright by offering the beta access before they can. Two, it gives us a chance to test stuff out without actually buying it. And three--well, they suckered me in with Win7. It's good to see that their leadership isn't completely brain dead.
I feel dirty thinking about this, but I daresay I'm actually starting to like Microsoft again.

I'm impressed. For a beta it's not that bad--kinda like Windows 7. It even opens ODTs (from OpenOffice) without much fuss, although I've found it doesn't handle the styling 100% correctly and the internal table of contents links don't really work except via Word's navigator. Other than that, I'm impressed. It feels a little more sluggish than older versions of Word (but faster than 2007) and the new UI looks a little more attractive. I see that Ribbon has been improved slightly and they eliminated that stupid "Office Button" at the top left (finally).
