As some users know both the 32bit and 64bit version of Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview has leaked

I can't give links in here but I'll say thanks to our friends in russia. No not that russian site, think again. Hint... they usually post windows 7 build numbers.

I think the blandness looks great.

How often do you open Office to go "hey guys look at all the colours and buttons and orbs!!!!1111"

Cleanness and functionality > trying to be extravagant.

One reason I thought the interface in Office 2007 was a disaster.

Yeah it does look bland, but I like it. I think they are heading towards neutral colors. Vista had a very blue/green bias. Windows 7 took some of that away and introduced the white/gray look.

They could get rid of that border around the paper since it already has a drop shadow and gray bg... It'll look even nicer and more natural then.

Also, simplicity is a big fad right now. As soon as everyone jumps over into the simplicity trend things will get boring and products won't stand out like Apple's products did (although simplicity with a look of sophistication is harder to pull off). Look at the beverages and such, a lot of it is simpler now to grab the attention of customers against busy designs. We will start seeing a shift towards busy designs again in the future. Apple will probably stay simple and clean. That's how they roll :) Design trends happen like that, lol.

Thanks for the screenshots, it actually looks very nice!

I'm usually one for busy interfaces like Office 2007, but I actually think the cleanness of this design may benefit the Office suite - I know of many 'average' computer users who were confused by Office 2007 and still don't like it because they haven't been able to get used to it.

I will have to try this out when the Technical Preview is released to see what I think of the design, first hand, but it really does look nice and I like the way the title bar is faded into the tabs of the ribbon.

It looks far better on the eye than the mess Office 2007 was, and as you can see with paint open in my picture the interface has consistency with other Windows applications.

I'm glad for once MS aren't adopting an interface that looks like it's right out of a fischer price catalogue.

Downloaded it, installed it. And the first thing I notice is the AMAZING speed. Opens and closes at a touch of a button and is a lot faster than 2007. Also all those saying it looks "bland" - (in my opinion) it really doesn't. Download took around half hour - it's now running super fast along side my 2007 version. Although I must add 2007 is having a few problems getting started but is otherwise working completely normal.

What exactly is a tech preview? Is it a full functioning build? Or just a preview with tons of bugs? Not even alpha? or beta? Or what is it exactly?

Fully functioning - it's like having a normal Office suite installed. Not met any bugs so far - stable and quick, basically there's been a UI change and several different features have been added.

I already had the Technical Preview of Office 2007 back then, worked really nice as well :cool:

So why shouldn't this one work fine either?

Besides that, it's good to finally have a 64-bit version :woot:

It has started appearing on my HD now, and I'm curious to try it out.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
