bryce_56 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Does anyone know when Office 12 beta 1 is expected? I was a beta tester for Office 2003 so I hope that I get invited to the Office 12 beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmoth Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 From what Microsoft did with Office 2003, I'd say we'll see a beta Spring '06... but that could change. *This is based on how long the beta took with Office 2003, & the current scheduled release time frame of Office 12.

y_notm Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 The first beta is due around November, I believe EDIT: Never mind, thats just the date you must complete the Office Competency Course to be automatically guaranteed a spot on the test http://blogs.msdn.com/sluper/archive/2005/07/19/440436.aspx I'd still expect Beta 1 to be around October/Novemeber, because IIRC Office 2003 went Gold Augustish 2003 and the first beta was in October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jphillips59 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Last I heard was that a DF4 build was going to be made available (shortly, maybe in time for the PDC) to certain testers (not sure if that includes the PDC attendees) and that beta 1 will follow in the time frame listed. but don't quote me on that...

But it will be interesting to see if I get an invite for O12. I can live without testing that. :sleep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore Max Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Apparently, Office 12 will include a new Ribbon system replacing the current toolbar. They did that because so many people hated the Office 11 look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dee Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 If you haven't already plan on investing in Sharepoint 586422397[/snapback] For SharePoint 12, I hope they take some ques from the "Blog". Making TeamSites look blogs is awful and just cannot be done it seems. I love it though, SharePoint is such a hottie! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HilariousNinja Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Looking forward to Beta testing. Right now office is ok but I can't wait to give it a go and see what the office team have been up to. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamit2900 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I just don't know if I find this stuff stimulating anymore. It's a Office Package for crying out loud. How anyone can kick up a fuss over this stuff or give two hoots is beyond me. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
