Anyone seen Office 2003 Beta?
 ~Click picture for full 1600x1200 image.~ Ya.. great. It has a skin. I will play around with it more to see exactly what is different as far as functionality. Last edited by Speedfreak : 05-03-2003 at 02:08 AM. |

I got the Beta pack from MS. Check this thing out:
Click on all pictures for full 1600x1200 original    16 cds in all:
It's more than I expected. Now I'm going to have to play with it all. That other disc is a 120-day trial for Windows XP Pro because they wanted you to have Windows XP when looking over the Beta. I have XP on my machines, but I just got this extra cd for the hell of it. Last edited by Speedfreak : 05-03-2003 at 08:58 AM. |

I'm also curious what new features they could add to Word and PowerPoint XP. I certaintly can't think of anything else that I would want included (and would create a larger memory footprint)

They always dump more Internet integration and collaboration between the apps. Also, their scripting support for VBA and Java has improved dramatically in recent versions.

Besides its more fancy schmany appearance? I'm not sure yet. I just got my Beta2 2003 kit today. I thought it was never going to get here. I can't wait to try it out.
