Office 2007 BETA 2 Released

At 10pm I got the email from Microsoft that Bill Gates has released Office 2007 Beta 2 which is going to be available for public review and can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/default.mspx.

With the foundations on the building of Nepali version of Office 2007 is also underway with the Style Guide for Technical Writing for Vista and Office 2007 already done and a database of words that should not appear into the software for various reasons are underway at the moment.

This is a historic moment to see a product go into public beta, and here I am up till 2 am still in the office downloading the Bea 2 software. Download speed tonight is exceptionally good. I guess this is a good sign of things to come in Office 2007 ;-)

I also had a long chat with Gehendra Acharya of Lumbini ICT discussing the schedule, contents and logisitics for the Bhasha Workshops to be held in Butwal from May 28-29, 2006. After which I go to Dang to conduct the Bhasha Workshop and then a series of all-Nepal Bhasha Workshops. I guess a lot of questions would be on Vista and Office 2007 and since it is in public beta now, it is good timing. Another good sign of thing to come ;-)
