It should come as a free update when it goes gold. It dates out because they don't want people using Beta's forever for more than 1 reason.

From the description, I think that even though this is labeled as beta, that it is not something that you need to renew, or will expire, and I think the final (that may change, but right now the only thing I can see that may change is the non touch-screen version.

syrguy,

Sharepoint is a MS product that they use as like a company website that you can configure to have as your one stop shop for all of your work related documents, updates, calendars and things like that. Some have made them external facing for their customers to use, but from my experience they are internal sites used to create a centralized location for information.

Thanks for the info kuluminati..I have been trying to read a bit about it, and eventhough it doesn't look like anything I will use, it does look pretty cool for the real 'power-users'!!!!

it has its pros and cons like everything else. For end users in a large organization it would be great.. For the things they need all users to see and what not. I have actually been using Sharepoint for something around 4 years now. It has come a long way from when it first started thats for sure.

I'm simply happy that "large" (~200k+) word documents open WAAAY faster.
That's reason enough for me.

Just my 2 cents on a cool new feature.

One of the new features of Office 10 beta is Powerpoint Companion.
Basically your Winmo device becomes a portable wireless (via bluetooth) presenter. Not only can you control the PP presentation, you can set it up so that the Notes slides appear on your handheld simultaneously.
I've been waiting for something like this for a LOOOOONG time!

For those who do Powerpoint presentations, it definitely is worth checking out. BTW, you don't have to upgrade to Office 10 beta on your PC. It works with PowerPoint 2007. I tried it and it seems to work well. I'll follow up when I actually use it in a work setting.

This looks cool.
If this screenshot is of WM6.5, then it must be the com 2 branch.

Has anyone tried the the OneNote multiple folder/cloud syncing yet? I'm a Onenote junkie, and this will be a HUGE benefit (...if it works well).

Hm. Unfortunately, that zapped my Mobile version of OneNote... Thanks for posting it, though--I'll keep looking...
