Just watched the introduce video about Office 2007, which got very different UI. What an amazing product it would be? Dramatic tool bar, different window title, so many things are moved from their original position since like the office 4.2 days, do like a GUI interaction revolution.
No matter you like or oppose Microsoft. Its manufactures do dominate the most land surface of this planet for some definite reasons. And I just wonder what the hell the coming soon Longhorn will bring to us.
According to the beta2 description, the system requirements covering the collation I am using recently. No need 64 or dual core. Less than I supposed. So, it’s glad to try the wonderful thing somewhere, sometime. Hope the New Office staffs do ease our future duty days.
