Brief: Limited Office 2003 release set for Monday

Early access for select customers

September 12, 2003 12:00 PM ET

IDG News Service - Select Microsoft Corp. customers will get early access to several of the vendor's new Office System products on Monday, the company said.
Volume buyers who bought Microsoft's Software Assurance maintenance plan and subscribers to the Microsoft Developer Network service will be able to download the Office 2003 suite applications, the OneNote note-taking tool and several other applications starting Sept. 15, Microsoft said in a statement sent via e-mail.
Microsoft originally planned to offer the products online Oct. 1, but the company said it moved the release forward because customers are eager to start evaluating the new products.
Some PC makers may start delivering new machines loaded with Office 2003 by the end of this month, but the official introduction and general retail availability of the new Office products is scheduled for Oct. 21, when Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates will host a launch event in New York.
