Got the beta invite but just get "Coming Soon"

I received the iWork beta invite and it says all I have to do is log into my iCloud account. I do that and the iWork icon shows along with all my other iCloud icons but when I click on it at the top it shows the pages, numbers, keynote app tabs but nothing else. It just says coming soon and then a "Learn More" arrow which takes me to an apple web site talking about it. What do I need to do? I do have iCloud set up on all my iOS devices and am accessing the iCloud web site on a PC with Windows 7 and IE9 which the email says is supported, so what gives?

Dell, Windows 7

At the bottom of the browser window it should prompt you to install iCloud Web App Plugin > Click Install

NOPE!

Nothing like that comes up.

The yellow pop up's are there but no download prompt.

That is your problem. You can not use it on IE without the plug-in. Try refreshing the page or closing IE and try again.

If you can't get it to pop, you can use any other browser besides IE.

Nope! Nothing seems to work!

Here is what I have done so far:

Rebooted

checked to see I had the latest iCloud control panel - yes version 2.1.2

checked the download folder in case the plug in went there. nada!

checked Manage Add-ons in Tools and it shows the apple web icon app plug-in as enabled (I'm not sure but I think that is just the old one that has always been there)

Tried going through Safari browswer and same thing...it just says coming soon!

I am at a loss here!
