OFFICE 2010 BETA – Did you download – Are you using it?

Get ready – the time had to come and it is around the corner.

The BETA version of Office 2010 is shutting down at the end of the month.

Didn’t it seem like only yesterday when we made the Microsoft Office 2010 Beta available? Actually, it’s been nearly a year! Since then, Office 2010 has experienced over 9 million downloads — more than 6 times the size of the Office 2007 Beta.

With so many folks out there using the Office 2010 Beta, this is our gentle reminder that the Beta is set to expire on Halloween. For those of you who live outside of North America, that’s Sunday, October 31, 2010. READ ENTIRE POST

You can extend your use of the product by 60 days by downloading the fully functional 60-day Trial Version.
