Microsoft Office 2007 beta (Beware you must uninstall after it expires)

[Beth Melton]

I'm still a little unclear about the "problem" you feel needs
fixing???

I don't need the work. If MS doesn't fix the problem they are just
exposing themself.

What it all comes down to is it is beta and whether it provides reduced or
no functionality at all, common sense will tell you that Microsoft did not
intend for you to use the beta at your leisure after it is through with the
beta testing....As an Attorney yourself then you should know not everything
is spelled out to cover every situation that one might encounter with the
use of product as I referenced in my earlier... Do you need someone to tell
you a knife you just bought is sharp? I Hope this question doesn't need an
anwser....

Has it even occurred to you that we are so lucky to have a 6-9 month
opportunity to try out a complete package of the latest Office suite for
FREE? Yes, we will not be able to use it after February 1st...limited
pretty
much does mean "not at all" but I am still grateful.

Ok, moronic Milly, what does "Beta 2 will continue to work" mean?!
That does not mean none!

Guys and Gals, I am on your side. I just made an observation. If they
correct it by 2007 that is great. If they don't they might find
themselves in hot water. I love that they gave it to us to try for
awhile. Why all the hostility? Life is too short, relax.

I don't need the work. If MS doesn't fix the problem they are just

The problem I am having is that the beta expired on July 4,2006 and
there is no utility to uninstall, not in the program files, doesn't
show up in "add or remove".
Anyone know how to get rid of this bug infested monster?
I never had a Microsoft Office installed in the first place to fall
back on.

Office 2007 Beta 2 does not expire until February 1, 2007. If you had a
previous version installed, then you must be a technical beta tester or in
the TAP program. I suggest you apply to the beta news groups for
assistance.

If you are not in one of those two groups, then you have a warez version
installed on your system. I don't assist with warez installations.

Being a BETA versus a Trial version...I don't remember any "limited
functionality" being mentioned for 2007!?!?!?!

Granted, trial versions go to limited, but in the past all betas have
just shut down once the time has expired.
