Galley Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I finally got around to watching that 41 minute preview video, and I must say that I am really impressed. Also, the woman that was showing it had very beautiful eyes. :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

computer_guy04 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 i am usually one of the first that likes whatever microsoft makes, but this new design of office 12 makes me stop and think...now i voted that i "maybe" like it...and the only reason that i voted that way was because w/o actually sitting down and using the program for a while then i can't really make an accurate judgement call...though i would bet that once i can upgrade that i will love it...

hotdog666al Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 To be honest, Microsoft shouldn't be making Office all eye candy. We need it to be more and more user friendly, not more flashy. It's there to do a job, not look good. Eye Candy = Distracting. Oh and yeah, Looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landshark77 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Office 12 should be coming out around the same time as Vista.

b0m8er Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Yes, I like it, but they should really work on all the icons and buttons so they're all in the same style/gamma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramonga Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Like everything from Microsoft, it only gets worse! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerHappySam Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 It looks fine - but I would rather Microsoft fix what is messed up rather then make it look pretty. Secondly, I looked but havent found the answer to my question - Will there be an upgrade from earlier office versions to V12 / Vista's version? Thanks B :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcuraNSX12 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 GOD NO!!! I think the "Slate" like UI is a great idea, but I think they should have just made it a tad bit simpler. A question to testers: is it faster than Office 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
