I know it is a beta software, but I don't like where they are going with the interface, here I was, thinking XP was the begining of a new MS with tasteful interfaces, attention to detail and an improved sense of style focused on usability and just enough visual eye candy to make the everyday work a bit more glamorous and lush, and then they come up with this, it does not even follow the XP standard!, way too bold colours scheme, cheap looking graphical motifs...c'mon Gates, we know PCs kick Macs ass in performance and overall everything, but most Steve Jobs always be the lesser rich neighbour, with a big ego, but the one with TASTE?
And for what, for a bunch of add-ons that I don't need which will crash anyways....one day Office will be the death of MS, too bloated, it lost track of its purpose, instead of learning some useful lessons from the likes of Lotus notes (great idea, got too big and complex) it just believes in adding features for no reason other than 'we think customers want it' |

The *.doc format hasn't stopped innovation from other companies. The companies, themselves, stopped innovation. Other companies are still free to innovate in terms of UI, featureset, or even in creating their own file format that could be more advanced/flexible than MS' *.doc format. MS did this long ago, and still does. There is no reason why other companies can't innovate and improve their office suites/word processors beyond their current limited state.
The same applies to any other software. |

JWM, Microsoft has made the Student/Teacher Academic Edition of Office XP available from all retail outlets like Best Buy for example. $149.00 sounds pretty good to me. It also sounds like MS is making an attempt at making a lower priced Office (academic) more widely available.
If Microsoft DID make Office even less expensive for the general consumer, it would probably dominate the market even more than it already has, creating yet a larger monopoly than it already has. (I wouldn't complain however :-) |
