Will Office 2007 beta run after install of pre-RC1?

According to the "what you should know" help file for pre-RC1, "If you are
upgrading from a previous version of Windows or a pre-release version of
Windows Vista and your computer has the beta 2 version of 2007 Microsoft
Office System installed (build 4017), you must install the following update:
Beta 2 Technical Refresh Update for 2007 Microsoft Office System."

AFAIK, this Refresh Update has not been released yet. Can someone tell me,
if I install pre-RC1 over Beta 2, will the Office 2007 apps still work after
the install? If not, could I use the Office Live web version until the
Refresh Update is released? Finally, any guesstimates on when it will be
released? Thanks!

Thanks for the good news. Unfortunately I can't get Pre-RC2 to install,
others have posted the same issue in the Installation & Setup forum, and I
will be checking there for a solution.
