New Vista, new Office 2007 beta to download

September 15, 2006 in Software | Permalink

Screengrab_42 The launch of Windows Vista seems to be really dragging, but here we are with the general public preview of the Release Candidate. A release candidate is generally regarded as 'feature complete', so only expect bug fixes and minor changes between this an the final release. Indeed, the release candidate implies that the release is on target for an early 2007 launch.

Better still, we're also able to download a Technical Refresh version of Office 2007 beta 2, which some visual improvements, based on feedback from the May launch of beta 2. Still not a release candidate, but still worth downloading if you're a Office 2007 beta 2 user. Yes, that's right, you need beta 2 installed to install this Technical Refresh update - as it's just an update.

Head over to the Microsoft Vista Release Candidate download or the Microsoft Office 2007 beta 2 Technical Refresh update. If you still need beta 2 (before you install the technical refresh update), that can be downloaded from the Microsoft website.
