Jealous of the likes of CNET and Scobilizer getting to play with Microsoft Office 2010? Well don’t be! You, too, can edit spreadsheets and send e-mail if you’re willing to fire up your newsreader or BitTorrent client.
Right, so the file you’re looking for is “MICROSOFT.OFFICE.2010.v14.0.4302.1000.BETA.1.VOLUME.X86-64.ENGLISH-WZT.” I see that it’s on at least one popular, private BitTorrent site that I’ve mentioned in the past.
Or, if you use Usenet, you can find the file on your favorite NZB download site.
Direct links, of course, are out of the question. It’s already probably in bad taste to note the exact file name, but such things really don’t concern me.
The file’s about 1.58GB. It’s a beta, so I wouldn’t switch over to it full-time just yet.
Never has typing business letters been so fun.
If only I had access to said site… (My birthday is in a week. An invite would make for a great gift. *wink*wink*nudge*beg*)
Did Microsoft EVER take anything out of beta?
I’d joke that you confused Google for Microsoft, if Google hadn’t just taken a bunch of apps out of beta last week.
Really disappointed to see your encouraging illegal behaviour.
Last time I checked, a beta isn’t illegal to participate in. They send out the software so it can be tested. Now testing it without an invite is in bad taste I suppose. Illegal, no. The software has a hard-coded expiration date so… Yeah…
I can’t really comment because I don’t know Microsoft’s policy, but I imagine to keep it invite only there is some agreement the invitees have to agree to that says don’t share it.
I wonder if it will be any better than Office 2007.

Anyone still concerned about the legality, just get yourself invited:
