Compare that to Office 2013 which is not even out in beta-form and already has lots of docs available.

Office 2013 is out in beta form (MS calls it a "preview"), and has been for some time now.

Office has been in beta for months now... you can go to http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview to try it out
