I tried the beta but it expired after only a few days (I think it was
supposed to last for at least 30, but it didn't.)
It is practically IDENTICAL to the Win95 version. One problem I noticed
(common to all WordPerfect versions I have tried, including 5.1 and 6.0
under dosemu) is that configuring a PostScript printer and sending the
output to Ghostscript 4.0x results in errors (fortunately after the job
prints correctly). Ghostscript 3.x didn't do this (maybe 5.0 fixes it--I
haven't tried that).
They finally announced the price: $199, $149 for upgrade/tradeup. This is
much less than other unices, and comparable with the list price for Win95
tradeups, however Win 95 has the full suite (I've seen version 8 for under
$100 upgrade).
