Thanks to Bink for this, The site is getting closer each day that the refresh download actually works.

Bink has found out that if you go there with an internal build of Office 2003 you cant update to beta2 refresh, we won't ask him how he found that out but heres the message the Office Update site returns if you use an internal build:

NOTE: The Office Update Beta site only supports the official Office 2003 Beta 2 build (build number 11.4920.4920) and the official Office 2003 Beta 2 Technical Refresh build (build number 11.5329.5329). You cannot use the site because you have installed Office 2003 product(s) from an unsupported build. Click on "About ..." under "Help" in the menu bar of your Office application to find its build number. To use the Office Update site, please uninstall any Office 2003 products from unsupported builds.

Clawing his way in

Using Wolverine's razor-sharp claws to hack and slash through enemies consumes much of the game play, but strategy and stealth are also required to infiltrate high-security locations.

The title is divided into six "acts," each of which includes three or four levels of game play. Visually, the game is played from a cinematic "over the shoulder" third-person perspective. Wolverine travels to different parts of the world to fight enemies, solve puzzles, and collect key power-ups and other items.

This isn't a "secret" build or anything, it's also included in Exchange RC1 now so customers can get a more recent build of Outlook, which includes Exchange-related improvements.

Which is interesting because I only have Office XP Professional installed. It'll be even more interesting if the dowload actually works once the link is functional.

(1 reply) #11 Posted by RobertH on 16 Jun 2003 - 16:06: So this is going to be a 'download' like patch that applys to the old version. Not a new version right. So urrm how big is it going to be - im a beta tester for OFF2k3 and downloading something 200mb/100mb in size is kind of a chore. MS said the CD's woudl be available in limited supply's... i guess maybe i can snag one if i beg enough hehe
