Loading...In a unique move, Microsoft has put up a trial of Office 2007 online on their site that uses a Citrix browser plug-in. It seems like a novel idea, because rather than download or get a CD of the beta, you can play with it through an online experience.
Several news sites have reported this development.
News24 com reported that the goal of the online preview is to let people play around with the software without going through the trouble of downloading the large beta versions, which are less reliable than final products. Still, to use the online demonstration, users may need to download a plug-in and must register with the company.
Ars Technica adds that once the test environment is set up, users can explore a limited Windows desktop running Office 2007. The preview can be described as a series of tutorials meant to highlight the new features of the Office 2007 System. For example, Outlook 2007 launches with a fully loaded inbox and a window devoted to telling you what you should try out.
