Works with IE

It needs a citrix plugin and once that it installed the demo works. Its actually pretty good demo. You can try many features interactively.

It doesn't work in FireFox and I believe that microsoft doesn't care much for users who use firefox, because anyway they are not going to buy office. Why waste resources and effort on someone who doesn't buy from microsoft.

I as an individual user definetly do not have/need to spend big bucks on Office software.

I like the look at feel

I like the new look and feel. Quite intutive user interface. It was hard to figure out save and print buttons - (They are at the top above tabbed buttons). I liked the way microsoft is pushing the product through interactive web demo. However, I do not think that latest office is a must have upgrade.

No firefox, no try

As a matter of fact, no buy as well. Open Office does the trick just as good.
