It's still only $1.50 for software that will cost several hundred when it's released commercially.

I will stick with Office 2003 and wait. It will probably be at lease 3 years before I even consider switching.

The purpose of Beta testing used to be product improvement and bug fixing. These days, it seems to be more for marketing the product.
