  The download page includes an incorrect link to "Office Customization Tool in Office 2013 documentation."  The link points to the 2010 version of that document.  The correct link is: technet.microsoft.com/.../cc179097(v=office.15).aspx

  FYI, the Office 2013 and Office 2013 .admx files conflict with each other as they are using the same namespace.  For example, onent14.admx and onent15.admx reference namespace "onent14.Office.Microsoft.Policies.Windows".  I'm assuming this should be changed to "onent15..." for Office 2013 and wonder if it will be fixed before general release.  Thanks.
