Is it true you can download microsoft office 2010 beta for a free 60 day trial?

i tried, but seem to be having problems getting it started, finished the download ok, but going around in cicles trying to activate it

(though I thinks it will remain a trial until October, not 60days)

thats the same one i tried to download, but it seems to have gone dormant after a very quick download. you´re given a 20digit number to access, and told to open a document eg word, but when you try to open a document, it just becomes impossible. i spent 1/2 hour trying to figure it out, and have now lost my patience.
any advice would be appreciated, as maybe i´ve overlooked something

hi cf,i tried to download it again, but was advised to retry, as there was a problem downloading it
it seems nothing ever easy when it comes to computers
and it does say quite clearly its only for 60 days
