EXCLUSIVE: first details of Office 2007 for Mac. All new UI. | |
|
||
| Time: 11:29 EST/16:29 GMT | News Source: APC Start | Posted By: Andre Da Costa | ||

Microsoft’s next-gen Office suite for the Mac is being given a top-to-toe refit in readiness for its debut in the third quarter of 2007. On the surface is a revised interface which borrows ideas from the Office 2007 for Windows ‘ribbon’ and has already been radically changed due to user feedback. The new versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint will all adopt the native XML file formats of their Windows siblings. | ||

I think the UI for Office/Mac is already pretty damned good. It's been better than the PC version since Office V.X was released.

| Agree with that, the mac version of Office has been superb recently, lets hope 2007 is even better. |

| and the mac guys praise microsoft. oh how i bet smoke pours from their ears, as they contemplate whether to be truthful and praise it... or be their usual self, look down and criticize it blindly. |

| Even you should know most "mac guys" have praised office on the mac for a long time ;o) |

Office for Mac 2004 is ok, just that it takes some time to launch through Rosetta on Intel Mac's. When typing in Word 2004, there is a noticeable delay when a character appears on the document page.
I do like the layout though, the floating palette is a nice feature, but some useless features are on it, like the Formatting toolbar which is already visible and accessible. Office 2007 for Mac with a new UI should definitely be anticipated, new ui, UB. :) |

| Microsoft zealots just can't understand how anyone would praise a product based on its merit and not its manufacturer. |

No, ch, they can't understand how Apple zealots would, considering that they repeatedly praise products from a certain manufacturer (Apple) regardless of merit. For example, one need look no further than how they praised PowerPC chips and trashed Intel chips until Apple dumped the former and admitted that the latter provided 3x greater performance. Obviously, the merit wasn't nearly as important as whether it was in an Apple product or the competition's.
Anyways, to get back to Office, I bet that, if it were always Windows-only, Apple zealots would be putting it down, as they do with just about anything that isn't in or on a Mac, and praising whatever replacement they had, no matter how inferior. To Apple zealots, whether something is endorsed by Apple is, seemingly, more important than any merit. Unfortunately, it's an attitude that they've inherited from Steve Jobs, himself. |

osprey, you just need to 'think different' (allow yourself to be brainwashed).
"praised PowerPC chips and trashed Intel chips until Apple dumped the former and admitted that the latter provided 3x greater performance" yep, remember the "fastest computer ever"? Until you count any one of a dozen pc's that were available. remember "smallest mp3 player"? Until you count mobiblu. there's lies, damn lies, and apple's lies. |

"osprey, you just need to 'think different'"
I refuse to "think different" because it's grammatically incorrect. If Apple considers their target audience to be that uneducated, I'm proud to not be a member of it. This post was edited by Osprey on Tuesday, September 19, 2006 at 02:11. |
