Not long ago you'll remember the official announcement from Microsoft, stating that you can sign up for the Office 2010 Technical Preview which is due for a release in July. It appears people on the less moral side of the law have declared, "No!" to Microsoft, and decided to take matters into their own hands. We've received various tips from around our very own forums that this upcoming piece of software, which is still around about a month and a half away, has been leaked onto the Internet.Microsoft has been having a pretty hard time with software leaks lately, and it's unclear if they'll be able to get this under control. Never-the-less, it does get them good publicity in the technology realm, so it's not entirely a bad thing for the Redmond software giant.
But, I love the new Outlook 2010, with the automatic hyperlinks inside e-mail messages. You can instantly role over someone's name and get their phone number, or role over a phone number and get the number's name. How cool is that?!?!
Perhaps its just bad because its the Home tab and that's the only one with lots of little buttons you know.
Anyways, Office 2k7 seems like the perfect office suite, so what are the new features going to be?
Why, because Microsoft has never been able to stick on a final design in beta versions or technical previews of Office?
I don't see why it would change so much in all honesty.
I hope not. I like Office07 but think that it's interface looks a little outdated and cluttered, too many borders and shades of grey. Office2010 on the other hand looks smooth and modern. Also remember that there are only two vertical rows of buttons if the windows have a certain width instead of the three on the screenshots.

it has leaked and those really curious can check the time stamps on the digitally signed files
MS isn't let any of the important (re: buggy!
One of the differences between the two companies and their management.
lolz...yea...'n that's why they have a lil market share..though i know they have some logic behind it
Office 2003 was released in November of 2003. Office 2007 was released in January of 2007. Office 2010 won't ship until 2010, per Ballmer. I'm not sure how that equates to 'every year'...looks like they're averaging a release about every 3 years to me.
Not quite true. The old word arts are still there in Word and Publisher. They only updated it in Excel and PowerPoint. Who need word art in Excel anyway?
Nah, I'm pretty sure there will be new features too. There was plenty in 2007 at least. :-p
EDIT: n/m. I found some older ones.
Ok. OneNote looks awesome. WANT! I hate the pen toolbar, and that 'draw' ribbon tab looks very, very, very appealing.
But its on Wzor FYI
I only wish Office:mac was as good. Since I switched over to a mac last May, the main (and quite a major) disappointment was how sub-par Office 2008 was compared to Office 2007.
I have Windows 7 RC running on boot camp. The only thing I'm waiting for now is the Windows HFS+ drivers that are supposedly included with Snow Leopard.
Either way, I can't wait.
+1 Microsoft
Well, I will buy it just because OneNote gets the ribbon-interface. Great application but the 07-version looks hideous imo.
Agreed. The Pen toolbar can go to hell. That new 'Draw' tab looks awesome.
As long as you download from Microsoft servers you're sure you have an untampered version.

Damn do you know nothing about bittorrent. Bittorrent trackers have this thing called comments and they provide the ability for a tracker to be a self healing virus terminator. Or you can just go on a private tracker and let other people do the work for you.
"Self healing virus terminator" ... right!
The fact that you haven't picked up a trojan after downloading a torrent doesn't necessarily mean you know how Bittorrent works, you were just lucky those files weren't tampered with.
but the current office 2007, has the same applications yet only takes up less then 700mb of space.
no its not really big...the office professional plus is 673 mb
project professional with 279 mb
sharepoint professional with 296 mb
visio professional with 338 mb
the office professional, project professional, sharepoint professional and visio professional are seperated installers that make up the 1.4 gb compressed file
well I don't need the 3 others...but its bundled on the download so it makes up a 1.4 gb
there you go. but i can't get into, as it doesn't work with 2007 server

This doesn't make any sense...they're releasing the Technical Preview to the public for free. They don't need to leak it.
It may not have felt broken to you. But I'm sure a lot of non-geeks/tech Savvy people may have found the office 2003 UI daunting and hard to use. I mean, look at how many menus you had to go through to get to some features - office 2007 was about getting rid of that.
No other MS product has been more broken than office from a usability standpoint. 2007 took partial care of that, hopefully 2010 will take care of the rest.
I know, I comparing 2010 to 2007, not 2007 to 2003.
i still can believe, that i must go to regedit to do that on current version (2007)
