trust me, take the time and this new GUI isit hard at all, infact it is made to avoid confusion. Most of the common buttons are now placed right in front of you so you dont have to look through menus and stuff.

Once you try it you will get used to it.

Otherwise the thread should be locked / deleted, whatever, there is no point to it, its pointless.

Aha! Thanks!

Way too cluttered for me, y'all. Means it's time to give the office suite a "Firefox" treatment of getting rid of all that nonessential crap and let users add only what is necessary!

Then again, I'm kind of liking AppleWorks to tell you the truth.

where's MSN 8? I've been playing around with Office 12 and yet i still haven't seen msn 8 that everyone is showing/talking about :blink:

[coth]

just installed it. looks excellent. i love new interface. much better than office than 2003 and xp.

[Syntax_Error]

Me hopes to get on to the beta :shifty:

can anyone answer me? where is MSN 8 once you install office 12? maybe i am missing something obvious.

The whole point of the ribbon is to eliminate clutter and complexity while not removing access to any of the features in Office.

And how can anyone possibly compare AppleWorks to Microsoft Office? Microsoft Works maybe, but not Office.

I could be wrong, but does it look like they have overhalled all the GUIs except for Outlook?  Outlook looks almost exactly the same as 2003 but all the others look new and imporved.  Then again I could be wrong.

As was vaguely mentioned before in someone's post. Outlook 12 in fact isn't going to get much of a face lift according to the interview I saw on Channel9 and according to the PDC demo. They said they only part of Outlook 12 that would see the ribbon will be on the email composition screen...that will have the same Write, Insert, etc like Word 12 has. Again, I could be totally wrong, but that is what I remember hearing.

What I want to know is why us PC users always get ugly, cluttered UIs whilst the those lucky enough to own Macs get:

Microsoft made this for OS X, so why not use the same template for Windows?

It's so much neater & aesthetically pleasing. Plus, it doesn't open maximized by default. Why the hell do we always need everything maximized?

Oh I hope you were kidding. The OSX interface is pathetically basic compared to the possibilities the ribbon will enable. After you try the ribbon and really get into the different products (Word, Excel, PPT, etc) you'll see how accessible all the powerful features of Office are now. It really is quite eye opening to see the difference in trying to find a given feature in Office 2003 and then in Office 12. Microsoft is onto something here... :whistle: :yes:

[manifesto]

It's a prebeta mate...i had the same problem. didn't find a fix either. just wait until the next beta i suppose. it only happened on 1 of 2 installs tho...so i guess there is hope (aka, it may be random)
