junkam Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Microsoft made the new 2007 Microsoft Office available online, now you don't need to download anything, you can use office 2007 inside your browser (IE only) Source Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/473460-take-office-2007-for-an-online-test-drive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourjays Veteran Posted June 26, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2006 I read in my magazine a couple of weeks ago that they were planning this. Works pretty much like the real thing. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/473460-take-office-2007-for-an-online-test-drive/#findComment-587643429 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted June 26, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted June 26, 2006 It looks like they are using some kind of a remote desktop to run it hehe, ya they are. looking at this image http://img271.imageshack.us/my.php?image=office20071ld.jpg the fact that there is a taskbar inside the IE windows, only leaves me to believe it's done remotely.

Quactaur Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Nothing new really, back in the days of Office XP, you could tryout MS Visio in the same way.

Express Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Very good idea. I have been using office ever since the beta release. I like it very much. Now when I use the previous version it feels like I am using some ancient tech.

Orange Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Love how it's "ie only" TEST DRIVE SYSTEM BUSY The Test Drive system is busy with an estimated wait time of 153 minutes. :rofl: :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/473460-take-office-2007-for-an-online-test-drive/#findComment-587645012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourjays Veteran Posted June 27, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 27, 2006 errr, look at this attachment :D :laugh: I was just thinking - I wonder how long til someone manages to make it crash... I really like Office 2007 (been using the Beta). For someone who has never been that great in Office, it makes it so much easier. Found some things I never knew were in 2003 (but are).
