MS Office 2003 (Beta)

[Merrion]

Very cool XML stuff - but oh so unstable...

Spell it out: B....E.....T....A

 

[Merrion]

Yeah - Beta2 though - and since the .Net framework additions for office are probably a further month behind in terms of user testing....

 

[Merrion]

What do you know - it turned out that the majority of my problems were with dodgy hardware. On the new desktop it runs like a dream.

 

[Robby]

Hmm, oh so ready to blame MS.

I installed the full version of it on Monday - now I am compelled to mimic the new toolbar/menu styles in my control suite

 

[Derek Stone]

Let me be the first to express my distaste for the new toolbar "style".

One word to say... its memory intensive!!

 

[Divil]

Derek, youre not the first.

I want WordPerfect 5.1 back
(I still wish MS Word had "Reveal Codes" to fix whatever it does to my formatting)

Any word on when it goes Gold? In 2003, or pushed back?

[Derek Stone]

Its RTM. Should be in stores around the 21st of this month.

 

[Banjo]

I actually do quite like that new toolbar look, although it should probably be used with slightly paler tones than they have used.

I must say, it grows on you. It looks a lot better in classic mode than it does in themed mode, because it grabs the gray system colours rather than the blues/greens/whatever of the theme youre using.
