Form Filling Through Office 12

Qa32 writes "For those chomping at the bit for more Office 12 details, Microsoft offered a tiny peek at the upcoming offering, or offerings, due next year. In what he termed the first public viewing of Office 12, Chris Caposella, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Information Worker Product Management Group, showed off a distributed forms capability that would enable customers to fill in and submit XML forms easily via a browser, without having to run Microsoft InfoPath on their PC."

    TB - I'm supposed to be a "troll" for asking if you actually had any clue

    AKAIB - Mods, will you please fix that? It's very annoying when we're trying to have a discussion and you go around modding people into oblivion.

    Hey!
    The guy _is_ a troll, maybe non intentional, but if you follow his history, if you actually read his comments, you will se his is at least a flamer, and maybe even a troll.

    There are people who do like and enjoy MS products and tactics honestly, but this guy just acts as a MS cheerleader in /. just for the purpose of baiting people.

    (-1, Troll), is ok, I believe.

    Office 12 is very different from past upgrades. It's ment to stir excitement for Office again through some huge sweeping changes. There's a few completely new products in it as well. I can't talk about details but suffice to say you won't recognize the applications when you first load it.

    The Open Office team will have their work cut out for them.

    What's your point? That Microsoft isn't allowed to include new features with IE7/Longhorn? Get your head out of the FLOSS propaganda for one second and you'll see why your statement was dumb.
