NDA on Office lifted (nearly entirely)

Internally, we've been told this today which is a relief:

2007 Microsoft Office system news

NDA lifted on 2007 Microsoft Office system details

On March 21 to coincide with Microsoft Office Developer Conference, we we will be lifting all NDA-related details with the exception of products not yet announced (such as <this bit deleted for obvious reasons>). In addition, note that there are significant changes/improvements to the UI in the Office "12" B1 technical refresh. Any materials (presentations, demos, etc.) with screenshots from B1 should be updated prior to any customer or partner presentation.

    Darren,

    One thing caught my eye on BetaPlace with regards t what is still under NDA:

    "Beta-2 user interface refresh or images"

    Do you know if this refers to the whole new UI introduced in the Tech refresh? Seems a bit strange to me if this IS the case.

    no this is talking about the refresh to the UI that will happen at the next beta milestone.  Bear in mind that the RDP will get beta 2 a bit earlier than the rest of the world because it takes time to package it up for the web.
