Office 12: Highlight of TechReady
We have gotten two incredible demos of Office 12 during the last two days. I'll be the first to say that Office has been been pretty much the same product since Office 2000. Office 12 changes that, here are a couple morsels that should make the final release.
- SharePoint integration is essential, this takes every single product in the Office Suite to a whole other level.
- The GUI is much better at exposing all those cool features that a buried deep in the current menus.
Verdict: The most exciting thing Microsoft has done on the desktop in the last 6 years.
