随着微软Office 2010 Beta的发布，公司宣布，Office的技术预览计划将在2010年结束。
一封发给测试者的电子邮件指出，微软在2010年的前几周停止位于Connect网站的Office 2010技术预览反馈，并且一个SharePoint服务器产品的新计划将邀请这些测试者们来参与。以下是邮件全文："Hello Sean,

Thank you for continuing to utilize, evaluate and provide feedback on the Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview.
We wanted to notify you the Office 2010 Beta will be available for you to download next month (November 2009).
The Beta release of Office 2010 marks the end of the Technical Preview program you currently belong to. We will release the Beta on public download sites, where you can download and install a newer build of Office 2010 client software. At that time, you will also get your first look at the exciting new features we have added to server products such as SharePoint.

What this means to you as a Technical Preview Program participant is that the Office 2010 Connect site that you have been using will essentially be shut down and you will be directed to the Beta site (location to be announced) for Beta downloads, product information, links to forums, and more. We will provide you with links to the new Beta site on the current Office 2010 Connect site, but product downloads, articles, product information, and newsgroups currently found there will no longer be available on Connect.

In the weeks between now and the release of Beta, you can still access all of the Technical Preview materials on the Office 2010 Connect site.
A reminder, you can access connect at http://connect.microsoft.com/office.

You can also access product news and updates at http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/.
Thank you for your participation!

The Microsoft Office 2010 Team"
