MS Office beta versions to be publicly tested

Curious Microsoft fans will be able to beta test upcoming versions of Office as part of a new pre-release scheme.

To take part in the scheme, all participants have to do is fill out a short questionnaire and agree to some T&Cs. The Microsoft team will then vet applicants to see if they are deemed worthy enough to test the software.

The speculation is that a project known as Gemini, which is said to be Microsoft’s long-rumoured touch-friendly version of Office for Windows, will likely find its way onto the scheme within weeks.

Okay, so it isn’t exactly beta testing Destiny or Battlefield: Hardline. But hey, you could be the coolest accountant in the whole company if you had access to this.
