Office 2007 Beta Has Small Footprint.

The article reports on the latest beta version of Office 2007 from Microsoft Corp. as of July 2006. The launching of the browser-based test drive of Office 2007 will allow users to experience the next version of Office online through Internet Explorer, without having to download beta software. It was learned that the new beta is a remote session connection, via Citrix, to Microsoft servers running the Office beta. According to Microsoft, the launch is an effort to avoid conflicts with Office documents already saved on a system.
