Straight through the (French) Microsoft blogger;s mouth: “C;est cette nuit.”Tonight;s the night.Expect Microsoft to make the official,
Office Professional Plus 2010, sanctioned
Windows 7 Beta 1 bits available to Connect testers,
Microsoft Office Pro 2007, Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet subscribers for download some time after the CEO Steve Ballmer Consumer Electronics Show (CES) keynote begins (6:30 p.m. PT).If you really can;t wait for tonight;s “private” Beta 1 build — or the imminent public one – the 64-bit version is on torrents now. I;m not suggesting anyone do anything illegal — like download it from there. But I;ve heard it;s been done at least a few times with the 32-bit Win 7 version that was leaked just after Christmas.Join us for our live-blogging coverage of Ballmer starting around 6:15 tonight. (If you;ve sent a request to be admitted to Friendfeed room we;ve set up,
Office 2010 Home And Student Key, we;ll let you in starting just after 6.)
