"eWEEK Labs' evaluation of Microsoft's Office 2007 Beta 2 unearthed compelling features and tools, and reminded us why enterprises continue to rely on the productivity suite. During tests of the second beta of Office 2007, we were impressed with the suite's collaboration features. In fact, we believe they will be the impetus for dedicated Windows shops to upgrade when Office 2007 ships later in 2006. The suitewide attention to collaboration will enable users and enterprises as a whole to work with information in new and more creative ways." My take: I've been testing Office 2007 for a while now, and all I can say is this: the new interface is excellent. Try it before judging it, please.

It just looks Linuxy. The rounded lower bar. The glitzy KDEish colors, Icons. Focus on Ergonomics like Blender etc. But this is a product that's been around a long time so allot of the funcitonality is there as well.
Id like to check it out but I use Open Office and I couln't really afford it, plus some virus issues I've been hearing about with it.

I agree it looks like KDE on Linspire. Personally I am more looking forward to trying out the IBM Productivity Editors on the Notes Hannover client in fact I hope we never upgrade to 2007 at work and instead move to the OOo based editors in Hannover when we upgrade our Notes system in 2007.
As a matter of interest you look at the screenshoot of the Word interface in the article, you will notice that all the files being edited are about Linux - ones on SUSE 10.1 and on Fedora.
