Features, Office Screenshots of Office 12 have been published. You'll be amazed (for better or worse, your call). "As you can see, Microsoft is trying to do away with the 'legacy' menu bar. In newer Vista builds the menu bar is turned off by default (although it can be reactivated temporarily by pressing alt). In Office 12, the menus have been replaced with tab-like buttons. The only 'legacy' menu item that remains is the file menu, but it has completely been redesigned. The file menu now looks like the Windows XP start menu and can be customized as well." You can find more information and shots on Microsoft's website.

Just admit it, you people hate everything Microsoft does. You'd bitch if it was too similar to the old version, you'd bitch if they only changed it a little, and you're bitching now that they've changed it up a lot.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to find all of the commands and options after about 10 minutes of using it for the first time.

I'm no Microsoft worshiper, but it looks pretty neato to me. I look forward to trying it out.
