As of ten minutes ago, Microsoft has begin distributing the Office 12 Beta-1 bits to members of its closed beta testing team.

Beta-on-beta testing is rarely encouraged, but it would have been interesting to try, regardless. We'll just have to wait until Beta 2 to see what the Office 12 UI + Aero combination looks like...
