Under the Hood of Office 12

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the more-xls-with-unusable-macros dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ZDNet has posted an FAQ on Office 12, plus a quick preview of Office 12 pre-Beta 1. From the review: Microsoft Office 12.0 pre-Beta 1 drastically revamps the interface layouts of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. More than a year before the final product will hit the shelves, a pre-beta version of Microsoft Office 12.0 is revealing radical interface changes and user paradigm shifts that recall the overly ambitious Microsoft Office 97 update of the past."

    I like the brushed metal look. Very OSX-ish, but I like it. Mikerowsawft seems to like borrowing things from OSX as of late.

    I've been trying to get my manager to let me try out OpenOffice on a few systems here, on a purely probationary basis.

    So far, it's been a very hard sell :(
