If you are tired of using the built in word processing applications like Wordpad and Notepad, or if you’re tired of Open Office crashing on you during an important task, then why not try the Office 2010 Beta that has been in full swing for the past couple of months? Microsoft has release the beta and it will last until late 2010. The best part is, it’s completely free. At the end of October 2010 the program will cease to work, but by then you can either go back to Open Office or buy the Office if you decide it has become an integral part of your operations.
You may recall Microsoft recently did a similar unprecedented beta release with Windows 7.
Open Office and Wordpad are perfectly fine alternatives depending on what you’re doing. Open Office is always in development and has made great strides in the past couple of years. But at the end of the day, it’s not Office. If you’re interested in trying the Office 2010 Beta, visit Microsoft today at http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/en/default.aspx
