Stay on the Office 12 Beta!

This post is for Office 12 developers in the TAP and Ascend program. If you’re not in those programs, this doesn’t apply. (And no, I can’t get you into them at this point.)

You must fill out your Office 12 Nomination form on BetaPlace (http://beta.microsoft.com) in order to maintain access to any materials posted there between now and the public beta. I can’t post instructions here on a public forum, but since some of you guys drop in here I’m just posting a reminder. If you have questions, send me an email at my dmahugh@ alias.

CLARIFICATION added 02/28: if you’ve ever filled out the Nomination form before, or you’ve downloaded the beta bits (which required filling out the form), then there’s nothing you need to do. The only people who need to fill out the Nomination form to have future access are those who have never done so in the past.

I just gave a presentation on this to the Office 12 developers here in Sao Paulo. The deadline for complying with this requirement is March 1, which is coming fast.

  1. I filled out the nomination form back from 12 was annouced but wasn’t accepted. Any chance there still a way to get into it?

  2. It’s too late for Beta 1, but you can get Beta 2 when it’s released later this spring. That will be a public beta, available to everyone.
