Office 12 Beta1 is out...

The only thing I can think of about the release of the Beta1 is a famous corollary:

 

"Any given program, when running, is obsolete".

 

Keep in mind that Beta1 is out and all, but this is not the final version. We want (and need, really) your feedback. If you haven't already, register for the beta here: https://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/default.mspx.

 

Yes, surely there will be suggestions that we cannot implement between now and ship time, but we will, I guarantee you, go through them when it comes time to talk about "the next version". So, go use it and abuse it, and let us know what you think.

 

(BTW - Here's the official press release: https://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2005/nov05/11-16Office12Beta1PR.mspx)
