Official Response From Microsoft on Premature Release of Office Beta 2 on MSDN | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
"Microsoft inadvertently posted a build of Office 11 beta two, and several other Information Worker beta products on Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) sites yesterday. All have since been pulled. All of the information customers need for these betas aren’t ready yet (including the product key information). Some level of education is critical to the program’s success, and that means providing materials that ensure a productive and valid evaluation process for Microsoft and its customers. These materials are still being pulled together. Once they are ready we will ship the betas to our customers. You will receive additional information and an official beta kit when Beta 2 releases in March. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused. " | ||

| The beta has been in the can a week or so. It's accompanied by about 10 different .DOC Readme's. If the product keys weren't ready (and from the screenshots of MSDN, they clearly were), then all the people who downloaded it wouldn't have been able to install it. So I can't wait to see what these copious additional materials are going to be when it's finally sent out next month. Three weeks or so is a tad long for a booklet. |

| Even in the day since it was released the officebeta website has had additional content added. The product works well, but links to outside stuff don't always work or have incomplete content - like XML info, Rights Management, etc. |
