Outlook 2007 expiration

[Brian Tillman]

I see a lot of people trying Office 2007 and the Outlook 2007 that's a part
of it. I've not done so yet. Am I correct that Outlook 2007 (and the rest
of the Office 2007 beta) has an expiration date? I see a lot of postings
that seem to indicate a good many people don't seem to realize that beta
software expires and becomes inoperative at the end of the beta perios and
I'm worried that there will be a spate of "My Outlook doesn't work anymore"
postings when that happens, but perhaps my fears are groundless.

February 1, Beta 2 will expire.
March 31, B2TR will expire.

I have definite plans to be somewhere without Internet access around
those dates

Patrick --- Could I presume that Office 2007 will be released in final form
prior to March 31st????

Based on our previous conversations about my Outlook hanging up periodically
when I use it, I really like 2007 and really hope that MS will have the for
sale version released prior to March 31st, if not I will be in the GREASE.

Except for my periodic hang ups while using Outlook, B2TR is working very,
very good.

Thanks -------- Larry

All we know is that Office 2007 will be released to volume license
customers this year, and to OEM/retail customers early next year. Your
bet is as good as mine what "early next year" means. I would for sure
hope that means before March 31...
