Theres a "rumor" going around that Office 12 has "gone to unofficial pre beta with people not on teh beta team".

That really really sucks for ms. Somebody seriously violated their nda

The leaked version is missing some features, the interface is a bit slow, and if they use this UI in the final version then people will definitely take some time to get used to it. The save-to-PDF function is not present, either.

I think the most useful thing about this early "release" is being able to fiddle around with the new xml/zip-based file format. This will surely be a plus for developers.

Yeah, it really does take time to get used to. So much in my case that I just uninstalled it. Office 2003 is really perfect for my needs, and hides all those revealed features in office 12, because I will never use em anyways.

Office 12 has Aoe 3 syndrome:p:p

I am looking forward to this app, but quite frankly, I hate it as of now.

And I have to reinstall office 2003 again...heh

Nice try trying to hide everything with the 'mask'. Also it sucks because its a Pre-Release.

New skin coming post-beta 1.

Now, we're to the point where something close to the final visual skin is in our internal builds and, being quite different from the temporary skin, we expect it to have some effect on how people parse, find, and use the new UI.  The next few eye-tracking studies are to learn about the differences between the two skins and figure out if and how we might need to tweak the new look.

(No, the new visual look will not be in Beta 1.)

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
