A lot of people tried the Tech Preview of Office 2010 and liked it. However, you needed to be on a list to get the invite to the TP. Well, I’m happy to announce – just like Windows 7 – the beta of Office 2010 is PUBLIC!! Even better yet, you get more tools than you did with the Tech Preview…So without further adieu here are some links that will be helpful in making you help us make Office 2010 just as good as Windows 7!
