Default MS Office 2007 trial - expires 2002?!!

I downloaded a MS Office 2007 trial, but it says that it expired in 2002.

I may need to buy MS Excel for one spreadsheet, so the trial was an ideal
way to test that theory. However, it refuses to run because it thinks that it
expired on 31st Dec 2002 (five years earlier than the 2007 date of the
software!)

I've put the screenshots at

There is a lot of that going around lately on the various newsgroups and I
haven't seen any true fix yet but, if you have ever had any Office 2007
trial on the computer then it will remain expired no matter what you try.
If it even had one on it when the computer was first bought it is now
expired even if never used.

You may be able to try Open Office and see if it will do your Excel
spreadsheet the way you need it done. It is free, includes Word, Excel,
PowerPoint work-almost-alikes. Will read and write to the native Office
files in most circumstances and better yet it is free (oh, I already said
that.) Download from www.openoffice.org.

For all intents and purposes Office 2007 trial has been
discontinued by Microsoft and instead people should start
downloading Office 2010 Beta from he

http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/en/default.aspx

Office 2007 should in fact be removed from the Microsoft web but
due to other priorities Microsoft hasn't been able to do so. It
has removed some of them but Professional is still there but I
suspect it won't be there for long.
