we're #2! we're #2!

Right now, Office 2008 is #2 on the Amazon list of bestselling software. (Office 2004 is a respectable #5). The number one spot is currently held by TurboTax, which I assume always has the top spot at this time of year. I wonder if it would be possible to unseat them ...

While I was in Redmond earlier this week, I got my swanky Super Sekrit Limited Edition boxed copy of Office 2008. It's a pretty nifty feeling to have something that I sweated bullets over in my hands. It's been pretty nifty to read all of the reviews, too -- even the ones that aren't positive. My job is all about listening to user feedback, and press reviews fall into that area too.

For those of you who want your very own copy of Office 2008, they'll be available in the US and Canada at your favourite Apple reseller beginning on Tuesday the 15th. (And don't forget: the Super Suite Deal is good for purchases of Office 2004 through January 14, so you can get the instant gratification of Office 2004 now and then get a free upgrade to Office 2008 (well, you do have to pay for shipping) mailed to you later.)

    I think Office 2008 will be THE "killer application" of the year 2008 and will remain in the top charts for a long time. As to Office 2007 for Win, I think the team should have given the possibility to toggle the Ribbon and use the classic menus. If I am a new user I can leave and get accustomed to the Ribbon, if I'm used to the classic menus I swith to them, and use the OTHER new Office 2007 features as I am accustomed to do (especially if I'm a business). That's why Office 2007 is a half failure; Win Vista is a total failure instead. ;-) Anyway, cheers for Office 2008 (fortunately without the ribbon)!!!!! :-)
