Microsoft conforms Office 2003 beta 3 refresh
Email | at | by Mike
I just got the word from our Office 2003 insider, Ditto, of email update about the beta 3 that is coming out from Redmond before the final release to the general public some time in mid-2003.
Thank you for participating in our beta tests of the next generation of Information Worker software, the Microsoft Office System.
As you know, we offer betas in order to get feedback from our customers and partners, and create a better product. The Office System betas have been incredibly successful due to the volume and quality of your responses. With 600,000 copies of the Beta2 being sent out -- more than double the number of beta testers we had with Office XP -- as you would expect, we're also getting more feedback. Additionally, many testers use the Watson automatic reporting tools, which have expedited our communication with customers. Watson is a software utility included with Microsoft Windows that is used to help detect, decode and log errors that are encountered while programs are running.
