Office 12 Beta 1 available in 2-3 weeks

Acceptance letters for the Beta program for Office 12 have been sent out to applicants. Microsoft says it expects to ship Beta 1 in the next few weeks. For the first time it will be available via download instead of the usual CD.

“You will be provided with access to the Office ‘12′ Beta software, documentation, and support within the next 2-3 weeks. But we wanted to let you know now that you have been accepted, so that you can make any preparations that you need,” said the company via email.
