Hallelujah! beta 1 gets a face lift

Today the beta 1 technical refresh got released internally and it looks great :-)

First impressions

  • New look is nicely polished. This really does look the business now.
  • Its fast. The live previews are stunning.
  • Galleries are more extensive and rich
  • More robust and stable generally
  • Outlook seems faster, more stable and search is well nippy
  • Excel and Word – both look cooler and the UI glitches are fixed. Galleries looking good, live preview much better. 
  • Better Ribbon - the chunks are arranged better, tabs are cleaner
  • PowerPoint – wow! This has seriously had a face lift. Very stable and fast.
  • Groove – reinstalled, everything just works without any recreation of workspaces. J

So far I’m liking this a lot.

 

Here is a small taster for you:

    Hello there,
    I came to your demo for Office 2007, and i really enjoyed it

    I was thinking if there is a way to add SHEETS in the Exel file, why not give option of adding ROWS on the sheet manually, sometimes 65536 ROWS are not enough.

    Thanks
