Microsoft just started charging 1.5$ for Office 2007 Beta 2 download!

I was just looking for a Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2 download, because I reformatted my system, so I visited Microsoft’s Office 2007 Beta 2 Website and what I discovered was:

Microsoft just started charging 1.5$ for Office 2007 Beta 2 download!

Microsoft is a company with good economics and now they want 1.5 bucks for a 480mb download, because of the bandwidth bills. Now isn’t that dull. It definitely is, but thankfully I was still able to download Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2 from www.mininova.org or www.isohunt.com , of course it would not be legal if I just downloaded it and used someone’s cd-key, but I got my cd-key from Microsoft for a long time ago..

My Workspace

So this is my current development workspace, it consists of two machines:

Anima (Desktop) and Valefor (Laptop) and (Ifrit) Http/Ftp Server, Cpu Cluster and Firewall (not on the photo)

I connected Anima to Valefor using MaxiVista , it allows me to extend my desktop through the network, It really helps when I work with Visual Studio or Photoshop, I can drag and drop on-screen items trough the two screens. Even movies don’t lag on my 108Mbps network!

Workspace Stats:

Name	CPU	RAM	HD	GPU	OS
Anima	3.06 GHZ Pentium D	768mb RAM	300Gig HD	Nvidia GeForce 6600 (128)	WXP PRO 32
Valefor	2.4 GHZ Pentium 4M	512mb RAM	40 Gig HD	Ati Mobile 340M (64)	WXP PRO 32
Ifrit	1.0 GHZ Pentium III	256mb RAM	4 Gig HD	Nvidia GeForce 200MX (32)	WXP PRO 32/ Ubuntu 6.10

Usage Stats:
Anima: Mostly graphic editing programs: 3DS MAX, Photoshop, Pinnacle, and games (sometimes)
Note: I don't like new games , so I kind of don't need this new GeForce 8 hehe, I'm more into SNES emulation and Old School RPG's.

Valefor: Mostly development environment applications: Visual Studio 2005, Realbasic and Microsoft Office 2007.

Ifrit: Http/Ftp Server, Firewall, CPU Cluster Server.
Note: I currently don't use Ifrit as a server, because I am developing custom Windows CE system for its hardware.
