Hot off the presses from Mary Jo Foley over at ZDNet:
TechNet and MSDN subscribers can officially download SharePoint 2013 (and other Office family goodness) as of right now.
Yes, right now.
As in, “this minute”.
That’s right. It’s not even mid-November yet, and they’re already here. Talk about overdelivering.
As you read this, someone you know is probably in the process of downloading SharePoint 2013– including some Perficient clients with SP 2013 projects already in the works.
A couple caveats: To get the bits, you need to be a “volume licensing” customer of Microsoft (translation: your company has an Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft) and carry “software assurance” (Microsoftese for maintenance and upgrade rights) on your SharePoint licenses.
