Mr. Dee Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Well, I stumbled on this little bit of information on http://www.extended64.com/blogs/rafael/default.aspx Just in case you don't have super vision like me, here's the text from image one/two: Microsoft? Office Word 12 [pre-release](12.0.3224.20000) MSO (12.0.3224.2006) BETAPart of Microsoft Office Mondo 12> Unpublished work. Copyright ? 1983-2005 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Image three is the most blurry photo I've taken in my life. It's a shot of the new application settings window buried within' each Office suite application. Enjoy, if you can. Check out the screenshots of Word Help About 12 here Sorry if this has been posted already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soypowered Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Interesting. But Mondo is too lame. Even for Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dee Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) Very unique name I must say, couldn't find the meaning in the Encarta dictionary, so I googled. The name means either "World" or "Enormous". This could mean Office 12 is giving you a bigger view of your information to make sense of with new ways to manipulate, share it while at the same time have more control over it. Also, "Office 12" is already the codename, and it has always been that way, as long as I can remember. I think Office 2000 was code name Office 99 though.

stgeorge Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Geez, this is the same company who came up with the lame "Vista". "Mondo" is just as craptacular, so I fully expect it to be the final title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dee Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 Another office release to skip, bad name. 586590496[/snapback] I guess you are one of those users who only use 10% of the features in Office anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still use Office 2000 because its all I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolslacker Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I like Windows Vista, but Mondo is not a name. I really hope this is either fake or just a codename.l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjeeeboy Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Well, this could be the second title in a series of spanish names. Vista, Mondo, .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone thought the suite was going to be christened Office 2002, but was named Office XP instead. Even Paul Thurrott thought it was going to be named Office 2001. The recent release of Office 10 Beta 1 has unearthed a slew of new features, including a subscription software service, voice control, and numerous simplification improvements that will help shape this release into a compelling upgrade over Office 2000. Office 10 Beta 1, which Microsoft now says will be called Office 2001 or Office 2002 when it ships, includes the client software, an Office Web Server, the Office Resource Kit, two Language Packs CDs, and a ClipArt CD http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/office10_beta1.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
