CodedUI (VSCUG) … we are in the process of going through the final process of dotting the i’s, crossing the t’s and preparing to ship.
Word4TFS (TFSWP) … after extensive testing and feedback we are doing another productivity upgrade, after which this project will also enter the last dot the I’s and cross the t’s process, in parallel to a pilot.
Visual Studio 11 Readiness … the teams are making huge strides and the countdown to the “start of review” phase is set at 30:14:13:44, at the time of typing this, and busy counting down. At this stage all lights are l (green) in terms of shipping most of the ALPHA bits for review in December and the BETA early next year.

Any idea on when these will ship to the public? Are they available for review anywhere?

What do you mean with "these"? CodedUI, Word4TFS or Visual Studio 11 Readiness?

Kevin, once the quality and technical content has been verified by the Rangers, Product Owners and Subject Matter Experts, we will publish a BETA on Codeplex for early review and adoption. The CodedUI is ready to ship and we are literally waiting to get the go-ahead to "click" the publish button :)
