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."

You don't know what InfoPath is, do you?

I can see why some people might like having their icons change around, but I hate it. I want to click where the thing always is and have the thing work. I don't want to click where the [save] icon is and have it silently [print] instead. Make it easy for me to change where they are, sure, but don't change them for me.
When I have to use an XP machine, I lose productivity while the start menu keeps changing depending on what I've just run. I have to keep saying, "ok, where is [foo] now?"
I guess I'm not a good candidate assimilation yet.
Raise your children as if you were teaching them to raise your grandchildren, because you are.
PDFs? Who would use those once Metro becomes available?

Unless they port to Linux it's nothing special. How about it Bill? When are you and Stevie gonna bite the bullet and let your developers port it?

Maybe you might want to try and sell this over on ZDNet?
How about not. Since you seem to be an avergage random slashbot, any explanation or rationalization about anything that involves Microsoft would be a monumental waste of time.
It's not my problem that you don't know what InfoPath+SharePoint are or can do, nor is it my job to ease you along Microsoft's marketing slush, which in case you have not noticed by now, is directed to people who buy software, which in all likelihood excludes you. I'd recommend you simply ignore it. I have for years, and I've managed to keep my sanity.
I was merely asking if you knew what this article was about, and we've established that you do not. So let's leave it at that.
TB - I'm supposed to be a "troll" for asking if you actually had any clue
/. just for the purpose of baiting people.
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
(-1, Troll), is ok, I believe.
Yeah, it's so insensitive of Microsoft to integrate this into Office. All those lawyers, accountants and doctors that need forms support should just hack PDF with a CGI script and they should be all set.
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.
Reductio absurdum. Next time you post a "OMFG!! M$ IS TEH FUNNAY!!1!" comment, please don't act surprised if someone actually calls it out.
Have a nice life.
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.
