Just wanted to let everyone know who didn't get a change to sign up, I can see the link now:

https://connect.microsoft.com/office/Office%20Consumer%20Technical%20Preview

 

Remember, the product's current status is: NDA Non-Disclosure Agreement, so it is not open for chatting and sharing screenshots. Until then this thread should not be used to discuss topics about the products and features, except when another news source reports it. 

 

 

What can Program Participants expect from Microsoft?  

  • Early access to the next version of Office 365 Desktop (including Project and Visio if you are an active subscriber of these products)
  • Support for this program will be peer to peer via the Discussion group

     

What Are The Program Participation Requirements? 

 

  • Participants will need an active Office 365 subscription
  • Participants will install and use the latest version of the product during the program
  • Participants will watch training webcasts, either live or recorded
  • Participants will complete surveys and provide feedback

 

However, Office Universal (touch-first) can be open for discussion! 

I get a page not found :(

 

The original link https://connect.microsoft.com/directory/non-feedback works again now and I can sign-up, your link doesn't work for me though

 

Thanks for making me try again though :)

The original link http://www.office365,com - it DOES work.

 

(And yes - it works in Windows 8.1 - that's where my first install went.)

Feel the rainbow, Taste the rainbow!!

That is actually a new Office theme called Colorful. (Just the thing to wake up that dull-as-dishwater co-worker one cube over.)

I can't see most folks using it as an everyday theme - however, it does make for a good switch-up.

Anyway to force the original office preview to update to the latest one? I don't want to download a leaked one. 

Join the preview version and download the officesetup file. Once you have that just select the update option and it should work.

I think Office 2016 desktop will eventually look like it's counterpart on Android and Windows 10:

Notice how the titlebar is colorful just like the current build of Office.

Why isn't Outlook orange?

Oh heavens no. Too much functionality appears to be removed from the Ribbon.

they changed outlook to blue in office 2013

 

I personally never understood the reason for the color change

Because Hotmail >> Outlook.com was Orange to Blue and the mail app on Windows 8 is blue.

    • This is sadly what happens when a company tries to become political and focus on agendas outside gaming, the constant push of inclusivity and whatever the current thing was and box ticking, instead of simply focusing on what was a great game to many myself included, massive let down that a once great game company has ended up this way hopefully this will be a lesson to game devs from here on in to leave politics and agendas out of gaming
    • Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in March, Sony increased PlayStation 5 prices, and now, it's Microsoft's turn. Today, the company announced a major price increase that will affect all of its Xbox consoles, and one storage option is being discontinued entirely. There is some time before the new prices go into effect. Starting on August 1, 2026, any Xbox Series X|S model with 512GB of storage will cost $100 more than now. The price of 1TB models will go up by $150 instead. At the same time, all 2TB models are being discontinued. "The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles," said the company. "Unlike phones, computers, speakers, and other consumer devices, consoles are typically not sold at a profit, but instead for less than they cost to make." As the hikes hit, Microsoft is beginning to offer more options to make its consoles more accessible to potential customers, including financing, buy now, pay later schemes, and refurbished options: Buy Now, Pay Later: We’ve made it easier for players to use Buy Now, Pay Later options on eligible XBOX hardware purchases through Microsoft Stores, making it possible to break up your payment into predictable short-term, interest-free installments. Interest-Free Financing: Players purchasing eligible XBOX hardware through Amazon can take advantage of 0% APR financing for up to 12 months, giving players more flexibility with lower monthly payments and more budgeting control. Previously Played Consoles: We are working with retail partners on new programs to provide previously played consoles at lower prices. Players who are ready to upgrade or no longer use their console will be able to trade it in with participating retail partners for cash or store credit. Those consoles will then be made available at lower prices for players. Certified Refurbished Consoles: XBOX Certified Refurbished Consoles are available at Microsoft Stores for up to US$100 off MSRP. Microsoft said that the rising cost of storage and memory prices is behind this decision, with costs going up by over 2.5 times since the last time it raised prices of its consoles. The company says these parts are expected to double in price by the fall of 2027.
