As we predicted on Wednesday the Office 2003 Beta 2 Refresh is available for download.

The Office 2003 Beta 2 Technical Refresh contains improvements that were made using error reports submitted by Beta users. This Technical Refresh updates the following Office Professional 2003 Beta 2 applications: Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Access, and also adds InfoPath and Publisher to the suite. If you installed the Beta 2 versions of FrontPage, OneNote, Publisher, or InfoPath standalone products, you will also need to install their corresponding updates in order for all of the applications to work correctly.

Included on BetaPlace are the following:

    Personally if this is true I find it an insult to those testers who aren't selected to recieve the update "early", how the hell can they select 15,000 testers out of 600,000.
