Office 12 goes public
Well, the news is out. If you watched the PDC keynote this morning you know that Office 12 is a huge leap for us. Chris did a great job demoing the new user experience (of course, I wish he spent more time on Word). Here are some great places to look for additional info:
- Julie Larson-Green: Diving into the new Office 12 (note I first worked with Julie back in 1988 at Aldus on PageMaker 3.0)
- The official press release (skip the text and look at the cool pictures)
- The New Microsoft Office User Interface Overview
Jensen Harris, one of the key designers of the new UI, is now blogging. make sure and check out Jensen's blog for more info.

It's looking great. I'm overly impressed with your team. In no way did I expect this vast of an improvement. People are going to start comparing it to Apple but you far exceeded them. No pull down menus! It's wonderful. Now if you guys could just find a way of navigating that is more effecient than the start menu.
