Features, Office Office 12 is all about taking it to a whole new level in terms of interaction with the core Office applications and new ways of managing Office documents. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook Composer 12 all feature an innovative "new" user interface. This new user interface promises to deliver on that dream of making access to the tools you use the most in your Office applications not just easier, but with more relevance to the entire user experience and task at hand, writes ActiveWin.

Well I am not a cheerleader of Microsoft Office products, nor an OSS zealot. But as long Microsoft do not produce it's software to a system with *nix flavour(except MacOS X, that is supported) I stick with openoffice.

The problem isn't that Microsoft Word is a bad product, it's good. But it doesn't support the platform I uses.
And it's not so cheap for me, and probarly not for other users also.

Btw I am looking forward to what koffice team will produce.
I see that Office 12 do have some advantages in ther ui - and some of those have an association of what kde4 plasma can bring joy too also.
Koffice, it might be worth an eyeball in the future.
