Office 12 Beta 1 Coming Soon

I am testing several programs from Microsoft now, but I didn't get an e-mail for this yet.

"Microsoft has sent out the first wave of Office 12 acceptance letters to those who applied for the beta program. The company says it expects to ship Beta 1 in the next few weeks, which, for the first time, will be available via download. In the past, Microsoft has only issued CDs for major Office betas. "You will be provided with access to the Office "12" Beta software, documentation, and support within the next 2-3 weeks," Microsoft wrote in an e-mail. "But we wanted to let you know now that you have been accepted, so that you can make any preparations that you need."

Got my email and boy is it cool! Have had small issues and even had to reload a machine because of issues with Outlook, but overall it's looking good!

Most users can still us Office 98 and be fine. I hate yearly revisions of software, games included. Just wait until you have something new and innovative!

There was no Office 98... Maybe Office 97 is what you wanted?
