I have a confession to make. Even though I've posted several blogs related to Microsoft Office 2007, I actually haven't tried it for myself yet. Not because I don't want to; in fact I'm eagerly looking forward to upgrading to it. However, this blog site isn't so much about learning software; it's more about learning how to use this software to create better documents. So you can understand that I'm not in a rush to install it.
That being said, I still plan on trying it out in the near future. The good news is that when I'm ready to do so, I won't have to install it on my computer - thanks to the 2007 Microsoft Office system Beta 2 Test Drive. This site offers a way for you to test out Office 2007 with your web browser. This way you won't have to give up the hard drive space or worry about the risks of running beta software on your computer; but at the same time, you can still prepare to be amazed by the full version of Office 2007.
However, there are some things that you need to be aware of before you use, all of which you read in Jensen Harris' post about this test drive. I encourage you to go to both links to learn about this, and to try it out ... when you're ready of course.
