Select beta testers? Seems wrong!

Hi, everyone

The article says:

Office Web Apps is currently in its Technical Preview testing stage and is available to selected beta testers only.

But it seems to me that everyone who visits http://workspace.officelive.com/en-us/office-web-applications-preview and download "Getting Started guide" can join the program! At least I did join. Is there any restrictions for other people in different regions of the world?

Now, I know writing everything in Wikipedia needs reliable sources. So does the seemingly-wrong statement above. I suggest either we find a citation for this seemingly-wrong statement or we remove it.

OS Support is not clear

In the past, there was some discussion in blogs and forums that Microsoft's online apps would not support Linux users. The Article nowhere states which operating systems, if any, are required to be used by the person using the various listed web browsers. Either the Article should say that these online apps support any of the listed web browsers regardless of the operating system in use, or it should specify which operating systems are required.

This looks like a stub, but I don't know how to mark it as one and I don't think I can 90.221.216.10 ( talk) 15:12, 4 June 2011 (UTC) reply
