morganpugh84 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Just seen this on the Windows Super Site :) Roughly two years after I first previewed Microsoft Office 10 Beta 1 (LINK), which became Office XP, we're back again with a new Office version, set to ship in mid-2003. The new Office, currently known only as Office 11, adds a new user interface scheme based on the visual styles in Windows XP and a host of new features, while dropping the subscription software scheme that Microsoft tested in the previous version. Office 11 will also include new applications, such as XDocs and OneNote, though some of these new features aren't present in the first beta. Office 11 will not install on Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, Millennium Edition (Me) or NT 4.0, a source of controversy in some circles. Frankly, I don't see a problem: Anyone still running a legacy OS like Windows 98 isn't going to be investing in the latest and greatest office productivity suite. And from a software development standpoint, not having to support older technology ensures that Office 11 will be more stable and reliable. Sounds good to me. Continues...

AGMW Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 There's no doubt that Office 9 & 10 just weren't very big updates and probably were not worth the hundreds of dollars to update for most people. However Office 11 is looking very promising and I look forward to it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganpugh84 Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 I think Office XP (10) was worth the upgrade just for the new features in PowerPoint XP that is an amazing program! FrontPage was made a little more userfriendly by adding this like editing multiple documents at the same time using the new tab interface, etc. Not much changed to the rest, it was mainly things that were in the older versions but were hidden (like in Outlook XP it is a lot easier to make a rule from a message now then in Outlook 2000, etc). Yes i noticed he had the Mozilla/Pheonix icon in the quick launch try :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganpugh84 Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 Also i HATE the Office 11 interface, it is horrible, Microsoft should stick with the Office XP style for all there products as it looks smart and attractive and isnt an eye sore. Office 11 looks nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacedog Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Just for the sake of the argument: Paul uses Mozilla. It's his favorite browser, he said so in one of his daily newsletters. :) I must add that I prefer Opera :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
