Office 2010 Technical Preview Leaked

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft was planning on giving out the Office 2010 Technical Preview to select testers in July on an invite-only basis. Office 2010 will be available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and both flavors have been leaked to torrent sites and the like. Multiple screenshots of each application are available. '... some applications have changed a lot more than others. The ribbon seems to be on every application now, which is great for consistency's sake. ... The biggest change, in my opinion, is that the no file/orb menu is no longer a menu. When you click the colored office button, you get a screen that is shown in the second screenshot for each application.'"

    No thanks.

    Notepad has always been all I've needed. If I need something else, I code it.

    Yes, and why the hell did they abandon the command line for all this mouse bullshit? Why has everything changed? They must be eating mushrooms and are crazy!

    hahahaha
    have you seen the screenshots? "SEND A SMILE" - it lets you send either a smiley face or a FROWN to Microsoft, telling them what you think of their products.
    It goes to show that MS pretty much didn't read any feedback whatsoever, now they've hired maybe one or two guys to read up the tally.

    Drone 1: "98 frowns? is it defective?"
    Drone 2: "Uh.. I'm off to sell my stock"

    The Nazis had ribbons that they made the Jews use instead of standard menus
