Does anybody know when Office 12 is going to be relased in the uk?

 

[Pat Hartman]

There isn't an official release date for Office 12 yet. It is still in beta testing. The unofficial target is fall of 2006.

 

[Andromeda]

Those look good.. Thanks for the headsup

 

[BadKitty]

cool

thanx for the info...good to know ahead of time.

 

[Robert88]

Will it run on Longhorn?

 

[mtairhead]

I've used the beta version - Pretty slick, I'll say... There are some things that I thought would have been nice to include that were not, though.

No matter - I won't actually be using the real copy for many moons to come.

Those links seems not work now except the first one. Any other sites?

I found PDC here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/events/pdc/ , with the link in this site, you can get some video. But no topic about Access, only about VB or office 12
