Stumbling my way through the World Wide Web today i found a link to the “Microsoft Online Beta”. It seems to be a site I would call hidden (a weird sub domain and such)

Which is funny Because it is not under Microsoft’s name.

It appears to be an update to the current Microsoft Office Online to provide resource to templates etc for all recent Versions of Microsoft Office Including Office 2007. Does this Mean Office 12 will be re-named to office 2007 like its other previous counterparts?

“Welcome to the online service that is part of Microsoft Office 2007: the Office Online Web site. We have made significant changes to the site, and during this beta period, we invite you to explore it and tell us what you think. Use this site to learn more about the Office 2007 programs and get more done with them.As a beta customer, you can try out the Office 2007 products and site early. Your feedback is important to us. Tell us what you think of the Office Online beta site.”

I guess only time will tell.

UPDATE: It appears you need Office 12 installed to access the page. Also i tend to believe this will show up in the Next build of Office 12. As no links in the Application itself link to it yet.

UPDATE2: It appears that MSFT have disabled the site. We will see it another day though.
