Highlights in this issue:
Important Transition Announcements NEW
We
are thrilled with the incredible excitement around the upcoming 2007
Microsoft Office system as is evident by over 3 million people
installing the Beta 2 and later Beta2TR builds. With your help, we have
far exceeded our technical participation goals.
At this time,
we are pleased to announce that the 2007 Office system will be released
to manufacturing (RTM) in the next few weeks. We thank you for your
participation in the planning, development, and testing of this new
release. As we approach the end of the beta testing phase of Office
2007, we would like to make you aware of several upcoming events that
will affect you.
10/25 - Office Preview website closes down
On
October 25, the Office Preview site will be closed down. Since this is
the home of all Beta2TR product downloads, you will not be able to
download Beta2TR after 10/25. All other information currently found on
the Office Preview site will be migrated to the Office Online website
(accessible via online help from within Office 2007 applications). This
includes the FAQ, Product Guide, Top 10, Overview, the Demo tab, the
New UI tab for programs, and other related information.
10/28 - Technical support gets a new homeBeginning
October 28, support for Office 2007 products will transition from the
Beta support newsgroups staffed by Office employees to the in-market
product support provided by Microsoft Customer Service and Support.
Starting 10/28, you will need to use http://support.microsoft.com to receive support for Office 2007 products.
10/30 - BetaPlace website and support newsgroups close down
The
BetaPlace website (http://beta.microsoft.com) will close down on 10/30,
signaling the end of the formal beta testing phase of the 2007
Microsoft Office system technical beta. At that time, the
betanews.microsoft.com support newsgroups will also be closed down.
10/31 - SharePoint team sites decommissioned
The team site that you have been using at [name].spbeta.iponet.net
will be shut down on October 31. If you have any important files or
information stored on your team site, you need to store a local copy
before 10/31, as all data on your site will be destroyed when the site
is decommissioned.

Common Questions About the Transition NEW - Will there be a release candidate or other beta release beyond Beta2TR?
No.
We are not planning to make any further builds available to technical
beta testers. Office 2007 products will be available in retail channels
early next year. The Beta2TR build is set to expire on March 15, 2007 for all client products and May 31, 2007 for all server products. This should allow you to use Beta2TR until you can upgrade to the retail version.
- How will upgrading to the retail version work?
You
may upgrade/migrate server products from Beta2TR to the retail release.
However, all Beta version client applications (Office Professional,
OneNote, SharePoint Designer, etc.) will need to be uninstalled before
you install retail versions on your machine.
- Will I still be able to access old newsgroup posts?
No.
We will not be providing access to archives of any newsgroup posts.
Please refer to Office Online for information and training, and http://support.microsoft.com for technical assistance beginning October 28, 2006.
- Will I receive a free copy of 2007 Office system products?
Copies
of 2007 Office system final product are not automatically distributed
to all participants at the end of the Technical Beta. This program has
been a volunteer effort by participants for the mutual benefit of
you/your organization and the Microsoft Office team to enable feedback
on your testing of 'real world' usage scenarios, and improvement of the
final product quality for all Office users.
|
Thank
you again for your willingness to help us make the 2007 Office system
better than ever. We appreciate your participation and look forward to
teaming with you again for future beta programs.
